Story behind the song
A song about being afraid of the modern world and longing for a simpler life. The title is also a concept about various things, including graphic design and fashion of sorts. It encapsulates things like our website and album cover design, how I dress and the themes of our songs...
Lyrics
I want to live in a 50s movie
I want a bit part and a table for two please
I've got a dream in monochrome and lights
I've got a dream in black and white
I want to live and never die
I want to feel so tall I touch the sky
I have a dream of a new life
I have a dream of the outside
Everything's classier in black and white
We'd get on better with just wrong and right
I wanna live in celluloid lies
Cos everything's classier in black and white
I want to catch a girl when she falls
Who smokes cigarettes and calls people Doll
I have dreams of Fay Wray and Mae West
I have a dream of a pretty white dress
I want to feel safe in my own home
I don't want to be alone
I have a dream where no one says goodbye
I have a dream where no one's ever shy
Everything's classier in black and white
We'd get on better with just wrong and right
I wanna live in celluloid lies
Cos everything's classier in black and white
Kill the colour, kill the grey
Kill the bad guys and save the day
All the criminals will walk the line
I'll walk the streets and feel just fine
I want to live in a 50s movie
I want a world just like it used to be
I've got a dream in monochrome and lights
I have a dream, but it's all just lies
Everything's classier in black and white
We'd get on better with just wrong and right
I wanna live in celluloid lies
Cos everything's classier in black and white
Everything's classier in black and white
We'd get on better with just wrong and right
I wanna live in celluloid lies
Cos everything's classier in black and white
