Life on Mars?

I only just discovered this Bowie song, actually. I usually take a really long time when it comes to really getting into a single artist in general - I tend to fall for for just one song at a time, and I can go years without ever finding any other songs by this or that artist because I've never tried to find any. That sounds really lazy, and it also makes me sound like I'm never hungry for new things, but that's wrong. I just explore music differently from many other people I know. Anyway, there are a couple of other songs by David Bowie that I love (Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, etc) but I haven't really found any other songs than these. Which is sad. Maybe I'll find more of them soon. Maybe not. HOWEVER! I do love this one. Especially when he sings "sailors fighting in the dance hall". The harmony and the melody and everything about the song as that line comes flying by, ah, it's just bliss.

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 seats 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
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 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
he's in the best selling show
is there life on Mars?
