Melodic stoner-doom-goth-prog-metal. Oh, and some punk too...
Fay Wray started out way back in about 2000 as a pop-punk band named FOA. Over the years it evolved into Fay Wray and settled on a heavily Sabbath-influenced sound in about 2002. On a journey that has spanned 5 years, 2 EPs, and now an album, it has evolved further into a melodic-stoner-doom-prog-metal monster with a black and white retro aesthetic and songs about clockwork robots and alien children.

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
