    Lyrics:
    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?
    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    It’s a passing day today Friday, November 19. The man who shot this video for David Bowie, Mick Rock has died today. Mick Rock has did tons of work for many different artists David Bowie, Queen, Iggy Pop etc. He was known to many as “the man who shot the 70s” but I’m sure he was so much more. It’s good to realize and learn about the people behind such great masterpieces such as this besides the artist who wrote and preformed them.

    My grandad is the biggest David Bowie fan I know, and this is his all time favourite song. When I asked him what he thought the meaning of the song was, he told me he personally believes it’s about a young girl falling pregnant and how the world has turned against her after she reveals this information to her mum and dad. And that her life becomes miserable with everyone doubting her and everything going wrong for her. To the point where she doesn’t want to be on this planet, she just wants to be on an entirely different planet away from everything. Hence the name life on Mars
    Edit:
    Been about 6 months since I commented this and I find it interesting how music and art in general can be viewed in so many different lights and interpreted in so many different ways. I feel that maybe my grandad thinks the song is about a young teen girl who falls pregnant is maybe because my mother was 16 when she had me. And it’s most likely he reflected his own experience of feeling with that into his own interpretation of the song. Idk I just find that really interesting. Art and music are amazing and no one should tell you your interpretation is wrong cause that’s how you see it, that is the truth to you as the viewer, and no one should ever be able to take that away.

      I view it the first part as a sort of look at the news from the eyes of a teen. People die, politicians/pigs squabble, business as usual. I view the second as a much older version of that same person reliving it through art.
      I view the "Is there life on mars?" question as a sort of "when will anything ever change?" in general.

    I can't put down in words how Life on Mars changed the course of my earthly life for the better : I learned guitar and even built one inspired by his bolt shaped look.

    Also i think its really cool how the music is like what you would hear in a dramatic showcase, and when he says "take a look at the..." it really sells the part of a showman.

As such David's son has declared that they will not have access to any of his fathers songs for the film, which may put a slight wrench in the works for them.
