Life on Mars? (Live, Glastonbury, 2000)

This one goes back to about the same period as 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 ya

It's a God-awful small affair

To the girl with the mousy hair

And 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?

Hm

It's on America's tortured brow

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame

'Cause Lenin'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
