Action!      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 Giocondo      Elstree, remember me?   I had a part in a B movie   I played a man from history   Elstree, I look at me   Now I work for the BBC   Life is not what it used to be      I took no dives in the fight scene   I had a stuntman keep my suit clean   There's no technology to fake up a song   They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong      Elstree, remember me?   I had a part in a B movie   I played a man from history   Elstree, I look at me   Now I work for the BBC   Life is not what it used to be      Elstree      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      Elstree, remember me?   I had a part in a B movie   I played a man from history      Elstree   Elstree   Elstree   Elstree   Elstree   Cut!
