lyrics

I want an actress to go down in a blaze of my stories.
I want her to understand that these jesters are selfish thieves
Who steal from the life in the drum of your sensuality.
But they can't fake it. You're the one that's free.

They try with their mope, and a grope in a dream that nobody sees
But they can't make it. 'Cause they just fake it.
You're the one that they need.

I want the film to smoulder and reveal in her face
I want the night to burn long
And then to wake up strong, and offer her some morning songs.
I watched her rehearse from the back of the auditorium
She called out, ‘You can make it. Why not take it?
Come and dance with me Tom.’

When I need some heroes I just walk to the beat.
Um-cha, um-cha, um-cha. You know what I mean?
Walk a while down to Stanmore Street
And behind a yellow door, there they be!

I just try with a step of regret in the fret of a typical Englishman
But she just held me, said she loved me, and then the script was done.
