Life On Mars?

It's 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 she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
For she's 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

It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy

Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame
'
Cause Lennon's on sale again

See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads

Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a saddening bore
Because I wrote it ten times or more

It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall

Oh, man, look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy

Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?
