Starman: Didn’t know what time it was,the lights were lowI leaned back on my radioSome cat was layin’ downsome rock ‘n’ roll ‘lotta soul, he saidThen the loud sound did seem to fadeCame back like a slow voice on a wave of phaseThat weren’t no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive There’s a starman waiting […]


Life On Mars

It’s a God awful small affairTo 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 dreamTo the seats with the clearest viewAnd she’s hooked to the silver screen,But the film is sadd’ning boreFor […]
