[Verse 1]
Your there in black and white
Hundreds watch you every night
You're starring in a film
every weekend
On video and stills
With all your friends
You're there in Black and White
Hundreds watch you every night
CHORUS
You can't hide
You cannot
Cos we can see you everywhere
You're great in every scene
You're very natural
It's as if you cannot see
the spotlight on you
But when you fluff a line
the director says
You're doing time
When you're walking home
In the evening after dark
Remember don't hide
And show your best side
Cos you're the star in a film
Your there in black and white
Hundreds watch you every night
You're starring in a film
every weekend
On video and stills
With all your friends
You're there in Black and White
Hundreds watch you every night
CHORUS
You can't hide
You cannot
Cos we can see you everywhere
You're great in every scene
You're very natural
It's as if you cannot see
the spotlight on you
But when you fluff a line
the director says
You're doing time
When you're walking home
In the evening after dark
Remember don't hide
And show your best side
Cos you're the star in a film

Its a song about the fact that there are so many CCTV cameras everywhere. You're effectively being monitored Big Brother-style (in the George Orwell sense, not the crap TV show) and you're becoming the star of your own film - although if you cock it up or do something you shouldn't you get arrested and imprisoned.
