Uptown Girl.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)
“It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"

To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen.
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more.”
Life on Mars?
Song lyrics, Hunky Dory (1971)
