Celluloid Heroes - Ray Davies

Everybody is a dreamer and everybody is a star

And everybody is in movies

It doesn't matter who you are

There are stars in every city

In every house and on every street

And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

Their names are written in concrete

Don't step on Greta Garbo

As you walk down the Boulevard

She looks so weak and fragile

That's why she tried to be so hard

But they turned her into a princess

And they sat her on a throne

But she turned her back on stardom

Because she wanted to be alone

You can see all the stars

As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

Some that you recognize

Some that you've hardly even heard of

People who worked suffered and struggled for fame

Some who succeeded some who suffered in vain

Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive

And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by

Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi

Because he's liable to turn and bite

But stand close by Bette Davis

Because hers was such a lonely life

You can see all the stars

As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

Some that you recognize

Some that you've hardly even heard of

People who worked suffered and struggled for fame

Some who succeeded some who suffered in vain

Everybody is a dreamer and everybody is a star

Everybody is in showbiz

It doesn't matter who you are

But those who are successful be always on your guard

Success walks hand in hand

With failure along the Hollywood Boulevard

You can see all the stars

As you walk along Hollywood Boulevard

Some that you recognize

Some that you've hardly even heard of

People who worked suffered and struggled for fame

Some who succeeded some who suffered in vain

Celluloid heroes never feel any pain

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes

Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain

And celluloid heroes never really die
