Life On Mars Lyrics
Artist: David Bowie
Life On Mars
David Bowie
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 Amerikas 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?

che significato ha? questa canzone? รจ indecifrabile
Yes, there is.
This song is sweet! David Bowie is the best!!!
Isn't it "Lenin" rather than "Lennon?"
now I am a believer....! i always had a hunch there is LIFE ON MARS
He was friend's with Lennon (as in John). They co-wrote Fame and Golden Years.
from the best album ever made
fabulous song but strange lyrics, anyone gets them?
Woot, this song rocks. I love the British T.V. show they use it in - Life on Mars.
Man i love this song!! its pretty much the story of my life. i even have the mousy hair!! BOWIE FOR LIFE!!
I grew up on bowie, my mother one of his biggest fans. i didnt appreciate his music back then, but i love it now. he's an icon and set the bar for so many artists. to bennyhill- if you read the lyrics, you'll understand them. they make a lot of sense :)
best lyrics/ but what's mean "lennon" ???
great lyrics
It's about the shallowness of materialist, consumerist culture in the face of the real problems in people's lives.
i didnt get the lyrcis
Lennon/Lenin - wondered since the 70a
Lennon/Lenin - wondered since 70s -cheers

David you are unique - pls come back on stage!
Lennon/Lenin, both. It's a double meaning.
I've heard this song over and over again.Only David B could perform it this way...
@user 2 years later but... Lennon was a musician
My favorite song from my favorite Bowie album. I love reading everyones interpritations (sp) of the meaning. Keep em coming!*!*
Just saw this sung on "American Horror Story, Freak Show" 1st episode and couldn't remember where I had heard it before...
RIP David we'll never forget you.
