Elstree Lyrics

[Intro]
(Action!)

[Verse 1]
I had a dream on a back lot
And saw my life like a long shot
Of smiling faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you made
That we would see in the Essoldo
After drinking coffee at the Gioconda

[Chorus]
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history
Elstree, a-look at me (Oh-oh-oh)
Now I work for the BBC (Oh-oh-oh)
Life is not what it used to be

[Verse 2]
I took no dives in the fight scenes
I had a stuntman, keeped my suit clean
There’s no technology to fake-up a song
They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong

[Chorus]
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history
Elstree, a-look at me (Oh-oh-oh)
Now I work for the BBC (Oh-oh-oh)
Life is not what it used to be

[Bridge]
(Elstree)

[Verse 3]
They made a field into a war zone
I beat the enemy on my own
All the bullets just went over my head
There’s no reality and no one dead in

[Chorus]
Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B-Movie
I played a man from history

[Outro 1]
Elstree (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Elstree (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Elstree
Elstree (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Elstree

[Outro 2]
(Cut!)
