David Bowie - Life on Mars? // lyrics

Open here for more informations!

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 Amerika'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 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?

Huge. One of the greatest songs ever written. Bowie's at the front of the queue when it comes to pop in the 20 th century. A genius.

Whenever I listen to this song I can’t help but think of the tv show Life on Mars

[asteverino]

My 1970’s revisited. The lyrics are still true.
Thanks.

One of the greatest. Pure brilliance to use the cello as a power chord such drive. Just started learning this on a YouTube tutorial and noticed there’s a drop down semitone in this version, and it makes it easier to sing.

My brother introduced David Bowie to my small town, West of Ireland!!! We've been rock stars since!!
