David Bowie – 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
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

Prevod pesme

Život na Marsu?

To je jedna grozomorna mala afera
za tu devojku sivkaste kose
Ali njena mama viče “Ne”
A njen tata joj je rekao da ide
Ali njenog druga nigde nema
Sad ona kroz svoje potonule snove hoda
Do mesta sa najjasnijim pogledom
I zakačila se za filmsko platno
Ali taj film je tugaljivo dosadan
Jer ona ga je preživela već deset puta ako ne i više
Mogla bi se ponašati prezrivo prema budalama
što od nje traže da se fokusira na

Mornare što se svađaju u plesnoj dvorani
Oh čoveče! Pogledaj te pećinske ljude
To je najnakazniji šou
Pogledaj tog policajca
Mlati pogrešnog čoveka
Oh čoveče! Pitam se da li će ikada shvatiti
Da je u najprodavanijem šou
Ima li života na Marsu?

U znoju je Amerike
da je Miki Maus porastao u kravu
Sad radnici štrajkuju za slavu
Jer Lenon je opet na rasprodaji
Vidi miševe u njihovim milionskim hordama
Od Ibice do Norfolk Brodsa
Vladaj Britanijo” je zabranjena
Mojoj majci, mom psu, i klovnovima
Ali taj film je tugaljivo dosadan
Jer sam ga napisao deset ili više puta
Uskoro će biti ponovo napisan
Dok tražim da se fokusiraš na

Mornare što se svađaju u plesnoj dvorani
Oh čoveče! Pogledaj te pećinske ljude
To je najnakazniji šou
Pogledaj tog policajca
Mlati pogrešnog čoveka
Oh čoveče! Pitam se da li će ikada shvatiti
Da je u najprodavanijem šou
Ima li života na Marsu?
