I had a dream on a back lot
and saw my life like a long shot
of smiling faces in a picture parade
all the stills from the films that you made
that we would see in th "Essoldo"
after drinking coffee at "La Giocondo"
(Refrain:)
Elstree, remember me
i had a part in a B-movie
i played a man from history
Elstree, look at me
now i work for the BBC
life is not what it used to be
I took no dives in the fight scenes
i had a stuntman, kept my suit clean
there's no technology to fake-up a song
they stop the orchestra
if you get it wrong !
(refrain)
they made a field into a war zone
i beat the enemy on my own
all the bullets just went over my head
No reality
and no-one dead
in
elstree
