 It's a god-awful small affair
        B7                 Em
To the girl with the mousy hair
        Em/D             A/C#
But her mummy is yelling no
         A                     D
And her daddy has told her to go

         D/C#                    Am/C
But her friend is nowhere to be seen

Now she walks through her sunken dream
         Em/D                   A/C#
To the seat with the clearest view

And she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore
          Eb                         Bb/F
For she's lived it ten times, or more
           D7                  Gm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
        Bb
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Em         Em/D#                 D
 Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go

 Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

 Is there life on mars?
