Life on Mars? - Uncut

It's a God, awful small affair

To the girl with the mousy hair

But her mummy is yelling, "No"

While her daddy has told her to go

Now, her friend is nowhere to be seen

As she walks through her sunken dream

To the seat with the clearest view

As she walks to the silver screen

But the film is a saddenin' bore

'Cause she's watched 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

Beatin' 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

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

And 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 saddenin' bore

'Cause 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

Beatin' up the wrong guy

Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best sellin' show

Is there life on Mars?
