Hollywood Fantasy by Andy Balham
Welcome to a hollow world
A land of quiet despair
Harvesters on Sunday
And Febreze hanging in the air
Mini-roundabouts, set routines
Perpetuating lives
Treading water till the final trip
Out of town on the 435
Chorus
Small mind city just ain’t for me
I’m not wired like everybody else
My Hollywood fantasy
Is never, never seeing that place again
Friday night, there’s entertainment
The Pack Horse or The Swan
Don’t bother travelling further afield
No one likes the unknown
They all meet at primary school
Bound together by narrow views
Two-by-two they pair themselves off
And start to reproduce
Chorus
Hollywood is 7 miles south of the city of Birmingham and is partly within the city boundary. Hollywood was by-passed in 1969 by a dual carriageway way. There are two pubs in the area, the White Swan and the Pack Horse. The Pack Horse has recently been turned from a Harvester into a Sizzling Steaks pub. Hollywood Lane has a small newsagents, a foodstore and a DIY shop.

Hollywood Fantasy by Kamakura
Monday came and went without a word
From the Agent who promised me the world
Who said my name would shine in lights
Everlasting fame ensured for life
And all of this for five thousand bucks
So I worked my arse off driving trucks
Working three jobs everyday
Pursuing dreams that have made me grey
And this is my Hollywood Fantasy
This is my Hollywood dream
I signed a record deal for ten million bucks
Closed Sunset and Vine for the movie trucks
Angelina Jolie is my wife
I win a Song Fight from time to time
I am a star of the silver screen
Packing stadia wherever I’m seen
Become the President of the US
It’s my fate oh how I’m blessed
And this is my Hollywood Fantasy
This is my Hollywood dream
Variety came with Friday’s mail
A fifty point headline of betrayal
The agent shot by one he’d conned
‘Police look east across the pond’
It seemed he’d ripped of many more
Buried their dreams by the score
But I’ve had my moment of fame
I shot the bastard twice close range
And this is my Hollywood Fantasy
This is my Hollywood dream

I've always had this dream
To star in a featured motion picture
It started when I was fifteen
And I tried to make it come true
Chorus
I can't believe that it happened
It was just like my dreams have come true
It was my Hollywood fantasy
It had an awesome cast
And it was an excellent script
This summer it went unsurpassed
I can say I finally made it
Chorus
My fifteen minutes soon ended
I lost all that I had made
It was just so splendid
I vanished into obscurity

Hmm. I didn't annunicate very well in my rush job, so here's
Hollywood fantasy : a narrative / by R. Mosquito.
fantasy time now ungh behold!
extolled by fans since the record went gold
but da income... it startin to platau
manager says that i oughta make a video
yea ungh little money sound good
so we gassed up the nova and rolled out to hollywood
boulevard. was a freak display
got a punk bitch director from the dga
he said "alright, if you ain't got a notion
i got a way to sure fire way to drum up promotion
you know what's out? motherfuckin' bling-bling
eminem wore a skirt and changed damn near everything
nothin' quite says rock the house
like a g status nigger in an gucci blouse
so we'll dress you up like little bo peep
in a fairy tale! and surround you with sheep "
i said...
didn't say a fuckin word
little bo peep? with a room fulla sheep?
as far as gangsta metaphors go, it's pretty motherfuckin oblique
but adam -- the the name of the director
says when this shit drops i'll score a boatload a chedder
so i'm on board ready to record
cuz it's a chance to bank i can't ignore
adam says come back to my place,
to iron this out we'll need rehersal space
in retrospect, the scene was all wrong
sheep carcass in the lift shoulda tipped me off
before i realized why it missing its head
adam snuck up behind me hit my head with a brick
woke up at six -- felt like shit
adams standing over me holding a whip
bring all your sheep unto me
this isn't how it was supposed to work
hollywood fantasy
says boy! i'm the muthafuckin sultan
i wield the whip and the whip'll be resultin
in a beat down if you dont wanna get beat down
the bed is over there and you better fuckin strip down NOW
NOW, he said so i oughta get on it
he pulls on the wool and i strap on my bonnett
but the camera makes me look all big in the rear
which i assure isnt as big as it appears
no response, cuz his sheep's head's on
zipper across the mouth -- mutherfucker is drawn
he points to the bed, pulls the whip back taught
and i gather from his infrence it's time to get it on
wait now. so there i am
facing a severed sheeps' head worn by a fat man
complete, replete wrapped in wool sheets
he wants to be the sheep that shags bo peep, right?
okay. i got a plan.
i drop to my knees reach out my hand
come to bo peep i say all sheepishly
unzips his mouth and the fucker bleats to me
i swing low with the shepard's crook
hook him in the ankle, twist the crook real good
pull back, snap, hear the ankle crack
he crumples to the floor flat on his back
with hook again i flick his whip outta reach
he's trying to get up maybe tryin to speak
but the sheep's head's.. impedin' his speech
kick the solar plexus hold back the sheep
I close my eyes. god knows i'm tempted
but i know violence int the way to end this
the video we made, adam coughed -- it's gonna make ya
i bring down the crook, crush his fuckin trachea
bring all your sheep unto me
this isn't how it was supposed to work

Hollywood Fantasy (The BeWells)
Saturday afternoons, the children's hour matinee
Dreams taking shape like stories on the silver screen
Sabrina saw that setting sun beyond our town
The Nun's story and the Lavender Hill mob could not sway
What was in her bloodline, that one wild oat to sow
She couldn't live out the normal young wives' tale
Over breakfast at Tiffany's she told them of her plans
They all laughed but soon we were two for the road
Chasing after dreams of her Hollywood fantasy
(chorus)
She'd say, let's go to Monte Carlo baby, take a Roman holiday
See the gardens of the world and that cafe in Paris -
When it sizzles her funny face knows how to steal a million hearts away
If love in the afternoon or when we'd wait until dark
In a world of war and peace our love was no charade
Like Robin and Marian in forests of green mansions she was my fair lady
I'll always hear her laughter in paradise that ended too soon
Like love among thieves trying to find something real
I became the unforgiven one lost amidst the secret people in a city of broken dreams
She'll go lightly on her way...
(chorus)
She stole my heart away

<b>Hollywood Fantasy</b> <i>by: Hoblit</i>
I lived a story that should only be
in a Hollywood fantasy
tales of unatural forbidden lust
covered up with a sacred trust
It all started with a little hug
our drunken arms gave a gentle tug
As I held her and she held me
we forgot that we were family
She smelled so nice as we embraced heaven
in the evening burning hot
Now I'm not saying that I'd do it again
but I'm not saying I would not
Laying there alone in the dark
anticipating what was about to start
that moment our lips touched together
gave birth to a night to remember
Our tongues dancing so soft and warm
bodies writhing to each other's form
no longer bound by relation chains
the pleasure raced through our veins
She smelled so nice as we embraced heaven
in the evening burning hot
Now I'm not saying that I'd do it again
but I'm not saying I would not
I wanted this love so wrong
and I'd been lonely for way too long
I leaped at this chance and so did she
creating this thing that should not be
this Hollywood Fantasy
when we made love and a lasting memory
As we cuddled in each other's arms
we slept the day away with no alarms
And when we were finally done
We would not reveal this to anyone
She smells so nice now when we embrace
innocent or tauntingly hot
Now I'm not saying that must be the case
but I'm not saying that it's not

"Hollywood Fantasy" by Loyalty Day
You dropped my robot in the bathtub today
Batteries aren't working very well
His eyes were all glowing green
It felt very mean
Stop your yelling and your screaming
Or we'll be going away
You don't understand how we feel
Too bad for you
chorus
We're in love with Emma Peel
She's our Hollywood fantasy
If England had a Hollywood she would be
The brightest star
I'll dry us off and consult the 8-ball
Will it be "yes" or will it be "no"?
One way or another
Your things are going out the window
Tears are flowing from my face
Will you notice how I feel?
You're too wrapped up in your cappuccino
To see our love
