Jasper Steverlinck Life On Mars Lyrics

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 nowhere to be seen, now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view and she's hooked on a 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, I 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
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 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
