Marshall Bird - Postmen Do Not Great Movie Heroes Make lyrics

You're not in business to be popular It's become so much about personality I regard the theatre as the greatest of all arts form The most immediate way in which a human being Can share with another the sense of what appears to be unity First of all i choose the great roles And if none of these come I choose the ones that pay the rent It was like unfinished business in my life Wherever i went people would say You would have made a great james bond. yes Lets face it postmen do not great movie heroes make The imagination, the industry And encourages the free eyes at the door Do not try to push your way Through the front gates? of the profession But do your upmost to find an entry Through the world of theatre There' s the same surge of adrenalin You get just before the camera roles We have lost our sense of ritual and ceremony But we blame the artists for not finding them for us Actors often behave like children And so they're taken for children Such is an actors life Lets face it postmen do not great movie heroes make They tramp discontently through the neighbourhood And the only matter of contact with fellow human beings Tends to be Tends to be reading names and adresses off an envelope There is a great job There is the same surge of adrenalin You get just before the camera roles Okay if i wasn't an actor i'd be a secret agent
