"it's a godawful small affair
to the girl with the mousey 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
*though she's lived it ten times before.*
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 Amerika's tortured brow
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 Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
rule britannia is out of bounds
to my mother my dog and clowns
but the film is a saddening 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!
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?..." -- bowie
