lyrics

Cutting Room Floor

La la la la la la

A dream of you that remains
The colours only turn to grey
As it slowly slides from my grip
Pictures of you that fade

Still life in a photograph
You come alive on the silver screen
The director throws you back into the scene
For all the world to see

Oh, the film strip hits the ground
You will now never be discovered
Oh as the real goes round and round
Cut for time and silence was the sound

And I will never know who you are
But you could have been a really big big star
If they had made a movie picture show
From the cutting room floor

They say you always lit up a room
Overexposed in black and white
Your star was constantly on the rise
In the darkrooms at night

And suddenly everybody noticed you
By morning you were the glamorous one
Without the filter of the camera lens
How were we to know what you’d become

And I will never know who you are
But you could have been a really big star
If they had made a movie picture show
From the cutting room floor

Chorus
And I will never know who you are
But you could have been a really big big star
If they had made a movie picture show
From the cutting room floor
