Clark Gable - Remastered

Lyrics

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London Underground
 When it struck me (when it struck me)
 That I'd been waiting since birth to
 Find a love that would look and sound
 Like a movie
 So I changed my plans, I rented a camera and a van
 And then I called you
 ♪
 I need you to pretend that we are in love again
 And you agreed to
 I want so badly to believe
 That there is truth, that love is real
 ♪
 And I want life in every word
 To the extent that it's absurd
 ♪
 I grease the lens and frame the shot using a friend
 As my stand-in (as my stand-in)
 The script had called for rain but it was clear that day
 So we faked it
 The marker snapped and I yelled, "Quiet on the set!"
 And then called, "Action!" (And then called action)
 I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would have admired
 I thought it classic
 I want so badly to believe
 That there is truth, that love is real
 ♪
 And I want life in every word
 To the extent that it's absurd
 ♪
 I know you're wise beyond your years
 But do you ever get the fear
 ♪
 That your perfect verse is just a lie
 You tell yourself to help you get by
 ♪
 That you tell yourself to help you get by
 ♪
 That you tell yourself to help you get by
