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

Now she walks through her sunken dream.
C#m Caug E
To the seat with the clearest view
F#
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]

But the film is a saddening bore
C
cause she's seen it ten times or more

She could spit in the eyes of fools
F
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]
E A
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
C#m7 Caug B
Oh man! look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Is there life on Mars?

See the mice with their million hordes

From Ibiza to the norfolk broads

Rule Britannia is out of bounds
F#
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]

It's about to be writ again

As I ask you to focus on
