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
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
It's on America'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 Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]
But the film is a saddening bore
Because I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
[Chorus]
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?
To je božanska mala afera
Djevojci s mousy kosom
Ali njezina mumija vikne: "Ne!"
I njezin tata joj je rekao da ode
Ali njezina se prijateljica ne može vidjeti
Sada hoda kroz njezin potopljeni san
Na sjedalo s najjasnijim pogledom
I ona je zakačena na srebrni zaslon
[Pre-Chorus]
Ali film je tužljiv provrt
Jer je živjela deset puta ili više
Mogla bi pljunuti u oči budala
Dok se pitaju da se usredotoči
[Chorus]
Pomorci koji se bore u plesnoj dvorani
Oh, čovječe, pogledaj te pećine
To je najkraća emisija
Pogledajte odvjetnika
Premlaćivanje pogrešnog tipa
Oh, čovječe, čudo hoće li ikada znati
On je u najprodavanijoj emisiji
Postoji li život na Marsu?
[Stih 2]
To je na američkom mučenom obrvu
Taj Mickey Mouse odrastao je kravu
Sada su radnici pogodili slavu
Jer Lennona je ponovno na prodaju
Vidjeti miševe u milijunima horde
Iz Ibize do Norfolkova
Pravilo Britannia je izvan granica
Na moju majku, psa i klauna
[Pre-Chorus]
Ali film je tužljiv provrt
Jer sam ga napisao deset puta ili više
Upravo će se ponovno ispraviti
Kao što vas molim da se usredotočite
[Chorus]
Pomorci koji se bore u plesnoj dvorani
Oh, čovječe, pogledaj te pećine
To je najkraća emisija
Pogledajte odvjetnika
Premlaćivanje pogrešnog tipa
Oh, čovječe, čudo hoće li ikada znati
On je u najprodavanijoj emisiji
Postoji li život na Marsu?
