( live / david bowie cover )



Its 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 shes hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore

For shes 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

Its the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! wonder if hell ever know

Hes in the best selling show

Is there life on mars?

Its on america's tortured brow

That mickey mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame

cause lennons 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

cause i wrote it ten times or more

Its 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

Its the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! wonder if hell ever know

Hes in the best selling show

Is there life on mars?
