Elstree - The Buggles

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
