Elstree Songtext
von Buggles

(Action)

I had a dream on a back lot
And saw my life like a long shot
I smiled at faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you made
That we would see in the Essoldo
Up there drinking coffee at the Giocondo

Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history

Elstree, oh 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 make up the 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, oh 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

Elstree, remember me?
I had a part in a B movie
I played a man from history

Elstree

Elstree

Elstree

Elstree
