ONE WAY TICKET TO MARS
I had a ginger cat that sometimes killed a mouse
I had a shiny car parked up outside my house
I had a steady job that I really thought would last
Now everything has gone, relegated to the past
My dreams and aspirations have all come tumbling down
Wife and kids live with her mother in another part of town
The only thing that’s left now I’ve landed on my arse
Is to try and get myself a one way ticket to Mars
A place where I’ll be blinded by the brightness of the stars
Where there will be no driving round in comfortable cars
No more late night drinking in my favourite bars
No more gigs down Deptford with those sweet, sweet guitars
It’s time I got myself on that one way ticket to Mars
There are no rotten human beings there to treat me so unkind
All those problems down on Planet Earth? I’ll leave them all behind
I’ll climb into that rocket ship and become a pioneer
Things can’t be any worse up there than all this shit down here
I’ve got no cash inside my pocket
So strap me up into that rocket
I’ll take that one way ticket to Mars
I wanna one way ticket to Mars
I’m on a one way ticket to Mars
A One…….. Way……. Ticket
See ya……wouldn’t wanna be ya!
