This title is a cover of Life on Mars? as made famous by David Bowie

It's a God awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
But her Mummy is yelling no and her Father as told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As 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
'Cos 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 America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cos 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
'Cos 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?
