lyrics

Hitch a ride to California, make it through the golden wall
Life’s just a long audition, every day’s a casting call
Check check checking checking out everything that’s going down
If you could cash in promises you’d have enough to buy the town
Buy the whole damn town
This is the movies, this is the silver screen
This is the movies, this is the silver screen
Picture machine

Everybody looks familiar, everybody’s from a mould
Every guy is Valentino, every woman is Garbo
Every word is calculated, every attitude’s a pose
Everybody’s got that special touch and every living sinner knows
He’s gonna be a star
This is the movies, this is the silver screen
This is the movies, this is the silver screen
Picture machine

Tommy Keyes Ireland

After an absence of nearly 40 years, Tommy Keyes returns with a stockpile of great songs that defy categorisation. Rock? Pop? “It’s 1970s singer-songwriter music”, he says, “because that’s what I am.”
