Song lyrics
Artist : David Bowie 
Title : Life On Mars? 
----------------- 
It's a God awful 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 no where to be seen 
Now she walks through her sunken dream 
To the seats with the clearest view 
And she's hooked to the silver screen 
But the film is A sadd'ning 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 a vein 
'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 sadd'ning 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?

Probably one of his best songs ever, so touchy and melodic - a hymn that lasts 'til eternity.

Fantastic song.

One of my favorites by Bowie. Unfortunate that his voice is dying after all these years of smoking and drinking. I'd give a five to the vocals, but the Reality tour proves that his voice is close to shot.

So sad. In the days of Hunky Dory, he did it so fantastically...
