About the Artist
Lyrics
This one goes back to about the same time period as a, Changes I'm very fearful tonight As I got struck down by laryngitis earlier this week So if I give out and if any of you know any of the words For God's sake Join in Counting on you 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 seat with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause she's lived it ten times or more It's about to be lived again 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 It's the best selling show Is there life on Mars? It's on America's tortured brow 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 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 It's the best selling show Is there life on Mars? Thank you
