Elstree (The Buggles)

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 (G.O. condo? 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!
