Olivia Kuper Harris - Life on Mars
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 America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Because 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
Because 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?.
David Bowie의 곡을 PostmodernJukebox 가 연주하고 올리비아 쿠퍼 해리스가
노래합니다.June 17, 1971 발표된 이곡은 숨겨진 보석같은 곡이기도 합니다.
커버이긴 하지만 요즘 재즈를 즐기시는 분들에겐 더 어울릴것 같아 (제 생각)
선곡해 봅니다.
