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?

I’ve come on a few years from my Hollywood Highs
The best of the last, the cleanest star they ever had

I’m stiff on my legend,
the films that I made
Forget that I’m fifty
cause you just got paid

[CHORUS]
Crack, baby, crack,
show me you’re real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck,
give me your head
Before you start professing
that you’re knocking me dead

You caught yourself a trick down
on Sunset and Vine
But since he pinned you baby
you’re a porcupine

You sold me illusions for a sack full of cheques
You’ve made a bad connection ’cause I just want your sex

[CHORUS]

Prevod pesme

Ćaknuti glumac

Na par sam godina od svoje holivudske slave
Najbolji od poslednjih, najčistija zvezda koju su ikada imali

Čvrsto se držim svoje legende,
Filmova koje sam snimio
Zaboravi da imam pedeset
jer upravo si plaćena

[Refren]
Krek, dušu, krek,
pokaži mi da si iskrena
Šut, dušo, šut, da li je to sve što osećaš
Sisaj, dušo, sisaj,
daj mi svoju glavu*
Pre nego što počneš da izjavljuješ
da me obaraš s nogu

Navatala si mušteriju
na uglu Sanset i Vajn
Ali otkako si njegova, dušo
ti si bodljikavo prase

Prodala si mi iluzije za vreću čekova
Malo si se zeznula jer ja samo hoću seks

[Refren]

A small Jean Genie
snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers
and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors
while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe
and walking on Snow White
New York’s a go-go
and everything tastes right
Poor little Greenie

[CHORUS]
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He’s outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!

Sits like a man
but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but
just for a short while
She’ll scratch in the sand,
won’t let go his hand
He says he’s a beautician
and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair
for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie

[CHORUS]

He’s so simple minded
he can’t drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved

[CHORUS (x2)]

Prevod na srpski

Duh Džini

Jedan mali Džin Džini
Iskrao se u grad
Ošamućen od lasera
i blejzera
Pojeo je sve tvoje žilete
dok je zezao konobare
Pričao o Monro
i gazio po Snežani
Njujork je živ
i sve ima pravi ukus
Jadan mali zeleni

[Refren]
Džin Džini živi ležeći
Džin Džini voli dimnjake
On je užasan, on vrišti i viče
Džin Džini opusti se!

Sedi kao čovek
Ali osmehuje se kao reptil
Voli ga, ne voli ga ali
samo na kratko
Ona će grepsti u pesku,
neće mu pustiti ruku
On kaže da je kozmetičar
i prodaje ti negu
I čuva svu tvoju mrtvu kosu
za spravljanje donjeg veša
Jadan mali zeleni

[Refren]

On je priglup
ne ume da upravlja svojim modulom
On grize neonku i spava u kapsuli
Voli da je voljen, voli da je voljen

[Refren(x2)]

Watching him dash away,
swinging an old bouquet
– dead roses
Sake and strange divine
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh you’ll make it
Passionate bright young things,
takes him away to war –
don’t fake it
Saddening glissando strings
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh – you’ll make it

Who’ll love Aladdin Sane
Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise
Who’ll love Aladdin Sane

Motor sensational, Paris or maybe hell – I’m waiting
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane – you’ll make it

Who’ll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain,
just in case of sunrise

Who’ll love Aladdin Sane

We’ll love Aladdin Sane
Love Aladdin Sane

Who’ll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain,
just in case of sunrise

Who’ll love Aladdin Sane

We’ll love Aladdin Sane
We’ll love Aladdin Sane

Prevod na srpski

Aladin Sejn

Gledam ga kako vata maglu,
mašući nekim buketom starim
– mrtve ruže
Smislene i čudno božanstvene
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh uspećeš
Strasne bistre mlade stvari,
Odvodi ga u rat –
ne foliraj se
Rastužujući glisando tonovi
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh – uspećeš

Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna
Ratni pokliči i šampanjac tačno na vreme za izlazak sunca
Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna

Motorički senzacionalan, Pariz ili možda pakao – ja čekam
Tuga i dalje pritiska
Čeka Aladina Sejna – uspećeš

Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna
Milioni liju fontanu,
za svaki slučaj ako izađe sunce

Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna

Mi ćemo voleti Aladina Sejna
Voleti Aladina Sejna

Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna
Milioni liju fontanu,
za svaki slučaj ako izađe sunce

Ko će voleti Aladina Sejna

Mi ćemo voleti Aladina Sejna
Mi ćemo voleti Aladina Sejna

Let me put my arms
around your head
Gee, it’s hot, let’s go to bed
Don’t forget to turn on the light
Don’t laugh babe, it’ll be alright
Pour me out another phone
I’ll ring and see
if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone

And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger’s eyes
and scored
Like the video films we saw

[CHORUS]
His name was always Buddy
And he’d shrug and ask to stay
She’d sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid
And turn her face away
She’s uncertain if she likes him
But she knows she really loves him
It’s a crash course for the ravers
It’s a Drive-in Saturday

John the foreman prayed at work
That neither hands nor limbs would burst
It’s hard enough to keep formation
amid this fall out saturation

Cursing at the Astronette
Who stands in steel by his cabinet.
He’s crashing out with Sylvian,
Bureau Supply for ageing men.

With snorting head he gazes to the shore,
Where once had raged a sea that raged no more,
Like the video films we saw.

CHORUS

It’s a drive in Saturday.
It’s a drive in Saturday.

Prevod pesme

Drive in subota

Dozvoli da stavim ruke
oko tvoje glave
Au, vruće je, ajmo u krevet
Ne zaboravi da upališ svetlo
Ne smej se dušo, biće sve u redu
Obaspi me još jednim telefonom
Pozvaću i proveriti
da li su tvoji prijatelji kući
Možda nam oni retki preostali
Mogu pozajmiti neku knjigu koju možemo sami proučiti

I da pokušamo imati odnos kao nekada davno
Kada su ljudi zurili u Džegerove oči
i golove postizali
Kao u video filmovima koje smo gledali

[Refren]
On bi se uvek zvao Badi
I slegao bi ramenima i zatražio da ostane
Ona bi uzdahnula kao Tvigi, čudo od deteta
I glavu okrenula
Nije sigurna da li joj se on dopada
Ali ona zna da ga u stvari voli
To je ubrzani kurs za rejvere
To je drive in subota

Predradnik Džon se molio na poslu
Da ni ruke ni udovi ne puknu
Dovoljno je teško održavati poredak
usred ovog raspada sistema

Psujući astronautkinju
Koja stoji u čeliku kraj njegovog kabineta.
On će prespavati kod Silvijana,
Biro za snabdevanje staraca.

Šmrkajući, on zuri u obalu
Tamo gde je nekada besnelo more koje više ne besni,
Kao u video filmovima koje smo gledali

[Refren]

To je drive in subota.
To je subotnji bioskop.
