Modern Poetry...STUCK in my head

Is There Life on Mars? ...Sir David Bowie 1972

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 no where 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 sadd'ning 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 America's 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 Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns

But the film is a sadd'ning 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?

Sad note: my teen sons only cultural reference to David Bowie was when I mentioned he was in Zoolander. Oh. So, so sad. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. It's on continuous loop on Itunes right now. It was in one of my favorite movies "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" by my favorite director Wes Anderson. And honestly, can anyone pull off blue eyeshadow like Bowie???
