Film Noir lyrics

Artist  : Hammill Peter 
Song : Film Noir
 
He casts himself as an adventurer,
all foot
on floor and hell for leather;
She never
told him what he meant to her-
Perhaps
that's for the better.
She's never clearly
seen dividing lines
between real life and
parts she's chosen,
confuses character and
rising sign,
sex and emotions.
She
waits in the caravan at the side of the set
for the scene with her leading man
that
he'll not forget...
Things get crazy on
location
and they had their little swing,
only yesterday he told her
that it didn't
mean a thing.
Chorus:She's in love with the
hero of the movie
but she's lost herself on
some dark trip;
she's in love with being in
the movie.
Call for action!
This is
it:
The method actress and the shooting
script.
So she waits in the caravan
for
the film's final scene
and her love/hate for
the action man
will fill the silver
screen....
On the dresser is the pistol,
in the chamber are the blanks,
in her
pocket are the bullets,
with his name upon
the shanks
Chorus.
