"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?".
Life on Mars? - David Bowie
[The most obvious track to choose from the amazing Bowie back catalogue, on hearing the shocking news of his death yesterday. For reasons why, see the story 'We can be Heroes' for the same date].
