Girth on Mars

Following on from a disagreement between Girth and Vlad on the lyrics to David Bowie's "Life on Mars" whilst on our annual hill walking / beer drinking week, Girth proposed the following lyrics as a tribute to the week's events:

Excitement is in the air
When it gets to that time of year
And Pete is itching to "GO"
As his Sally surely must know
That the valleys and mountains and streams
Just for one week become more than his dream
In search of Peaks with the clearest view
Somewhere others may never have been
Sadly Sally stands at the door
But she's seen it ten times or more
Done her bit, fruit loaf for the fools
And her OU to focus on

Strange men frightening outside the village hall
Oh man look at those gaymen go
It's the freakiest show
We take a look at our Old Man
Speaking 'bout times gone by
Oh man! Wonder it he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is this a final Hurrah?

David's cooking is ready now
Sneaking in more garlic and chilli "WOW"!!
The walkers look at who's to blame
When dodgy bitter's on sale again
Colin's mice in their million hordes
Is he serious or maybe just bored
Rule Britannia is all around
At Pete's mother, the dog, no browns!
Near the end we're beginning to draw
But we've seen it ten times or more
Will it happen all over again?
Something new to focus on

Strange men frightening outside the village hall
Oh man! Look at those gaymen go
It's the freakiest show
We take a look at our Old Man
Speaking 'bout times gone by
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is this a final Hurrah?
