|
Miller time at the bar where all the English meet |
|
She used to drink in the hills |
|
Only now she drinks in the valleys |
|
Where every road has a name like Beechwood Avenue |
|
Or so it seems |
|
A Croydon girl could really hope to find a home |
|
But with a thousand miles of real estate to choose from |
|
You begin to see the value of your freedom... |
|
The moon is bright in the haze above old Hollywood |
|
And deer look down from the hills |
|
And it's three o'clock in the morning |
|
Pill in hand you can hear his golden surfer boys |
|
Crying out, "Mummy won't come out of the bathroom!" |
|
And you'd hoped he'd say he's sorry if he hit you |
|
But he's buried in the screenplay of his feature |
|
Screen kiss, one screen kiss |
|
Straight from a film I forget who was in |
|
Screen kiss, one screen kiss |
|
Blue filter lens in a pool of vaseline |
|
But all the rushes look the same |
|
Only there's a movie I wouldn't pay to see again |
|
If it's the one with him in |
|
You and I could be a mile above the earth tremors |
|
Hold to me and we'll climb |
|
You could sneak out while he's sleeping |
|
Suicide in the hills above old Hollywood |
|
Is never gonna change the world |
|
Change the world overnight |
|
Any more than the invention of the six-gun--child-- |
|
Any more than the discovery of radium, |
|
Or California tipping in the ocean |
|
Screen kiss, one screen kiss |
|
Straight from a film I forget who was in |
|
Screen kiss, one screen kiss |
|
Blue filter lens in a pool of vaseline |
|
But all the rushes look the same |
|
Only there's a movie I wouldn't pay to see again |
|
If it's the one with him in |
