Life On Mars
( live / david bowie cover )
Itâs a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "no"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And sheâs hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For sheâs lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Itâs the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! wonder if heâll ever know
Heâs in the best selling show
Is there life on mars?
Itâs on america's tortured brow
That mickey mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
âcause lennonâs on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From ibeza to the norfolk broads
Rule britannia os out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
âcause i wrote it ten times or more
Itâs about to be writ again
And i ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Itâs the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! wonder if heâll ever know
Heâs in the best selling show
Is there life on mars?
