VAMPS - Life On Mars?

VAMPS 3rd single "EVANESCENT/Life On Mars?"
Music & Lyrics: DAVID BOWIE
VAMPS ver.


It's a good - awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling "No"
And her father has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As 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 Amerikas tortured brow
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 lbeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times before
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?

one of the best covers ever ♥

[MemberofBeatlism]

........... omG!!!!!!!! i just freaked out. i always said bowie and hyde were twins... NOW this.. absolutely PERFECT no words. THANK you for posting <3

[kevtje2k]

this is porn!

[louviki]

si hubiera hecho el tema igual a la versión de Bowie, habría estado perfecta también. Me encanta, hace oro lo que canta, incluso la mierda Trouble, que en él la tolero, lol

[computer2computer]

After Anggun's cover of this song, they all should stop doing worthless covers... Anggun rulez!

[AmigoFiell]

i didn't like it, the song is supposed to be a slow piano ballad but they turned it into a punk rock song... not that i don't like punk rock.... but this song just doesn't fit in that style...

don't get me wrong, i like hyde (not much vamps, i prefer hyde's singing style in l'arc en ciel) but this cover just dissapointed me...

[Piper1011]

OMG AMAZING HYDE never ceases to amaze ^^ love <333333333333333 ♥♥♥♥♥

[Dungarth]

@Gellis2009 ..A little bit, one can only deduce from the lyrics of the song is that its pure escapism on the part of Bowie, hence ''is there life on mars''.

[Gellis2009]

@Dungarth Im from england.

It's on Amerika's tortured brow

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame

'Cause Lennon's on sale again

You find sense in that?

[Dungarth]

@Gellis2009 ..Actually if you're English like I am, it makes far more sense to me than somebody who isn't.

[Gellis2009]

@Dungarth I dont think anyone knows what he is singing about. it one of those songs where the lyrics make no sense at all

[Dungarth]

..Even though he has no idea what he is singing about, its a great cover.

[ERAproductionz]

Hyde sings it so perfectly!! I love it! Also I love r' n' r' is brilliant!!

Love is voice!

[TheRzabcia]

Oh, I love Hyde's voice in this song! Really great cover :)

Btw: can you send me this photo? Hyde looks here... Wow :)!

[wickiesbunny]

GREAT!

[Abyssmaljib]

love hyde

[RyaVids]

From what I could hear of this video (it paused for some reason), I am very impressed. Gives me all the more reason to kick myself in the arse for not seeing them in concert last year. I absolutely love how they sound like Bowie when they are singing the chorus. Makes me a happy woman :)

[trishhatake]

for me Hyde sings perfectly in Vamps!!! sometimes he screams a bit more but Vamps is pure Rock and Roll and you can't be too perfect when singing rock!!!!! I love L'arc en ciel is my favourite band but Vamps is a very very very close second! This version is the best I've ever heard!!!! HYDE YOUR VOICE IS THE MOST AMAZING IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!! I hope you know how much joy you bring with every melody you sing! LOVE YOU HYDE!

[ACEOFTHEBLITZ]

i dnt like the way hyde sings in VAMPS

he can sing way better

he's like trying to sound american trashedd

his voice is way more powerful, but its still okay

[SymphoniaManiac]

A very powerful cover of a brilliant song, from an amazing band! What more could you ask for?

[hyc9882]

OMG! I love it so much!

it's better than original~ XD

[PandemoniacSarah]

I love both david bowie and this singer-hyde- :), its a very sublime cover too! and a wonderful song ^^

[InLoveWithMIYAVI]

i love bowie

but

this cover is awesome, it may even beat the original imo <3

[kari66japan2000]

LOVE Hyde!
