Lyrics
Intro
?Lights? Camera?. Action!?
?Lights! Camera! Action!?? ?Lights! Cameras! Action!? - Woooh
?Lights! Camera! Action!?? ?Lights! Cameras! Action!? ? Here we go! Woooh!
I?ve spent so long waiting in the wings
Waiting for my future and the action to begin
Waiting for a phone call, waiting for a break
Always believing that belief?s no mistake
And then it all happened
A call came out of the blue
Like a video in fast forward
Quickly dreams are coming true
Chorus
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? It?s like I suddenly feel alive
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? For now my life?s in overdrive
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? This is it! The start? of playing the leading part
And now I fly, free from my old cage
Playing the pretender, by pretending it?s my stage
But this understudy?s gonna be the star
Gonna be leaving in a chauffeur-driven car
One day it?ll happen
I?ll trade this stage for the charts
With my wings so far behind me
Like an arrow hits the mark
Chorus
Middle Eight:
Though I?m here under lights living other people?s dreams
This chance in a million?s gonna be the opening scene
One day I?m gonna be there, walking in those shoes
And I?ll call the shots, and give someone else the dreamed of news?
Lights? Camera?. Action! Lights? Camera?. Action!
One day it?ll happen - I?ll trade this stage for the charts
With my wings so far behind me - Like an arrow hits the mark
Chorus
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? It?s like I suddenly feel alive
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? For now my life?s in overdrive
?Lights! Camera! Action!? ? This is it! The start? of playing the leading part
