Maid Of Bond Street Lyrics

[00:00.59] This girl is made of lipstick
[00:05.09] Powder and paint
[00:07.05] Sees the pictures of herself
[00:09.44] Every magazine on every shelf
[00:12.01] This girl is maid of Bond Street
[00:16.14] Hailing cabs, lunches with executives
[00:20.36] Gleaming teeth sip aperitifs
[00:22.95] This girl is a lonely girl
[00:25.95] Takes the train from Paddington to Oxford Circus
[00:28.10] Buys the Daily News
[00:29.36] But passengers don't smile at her, don't smile at her
[00:34.70] This girl is made of loneliness
[00:38.29] A broken heart
[00:40.26] For the boy that she once knew
[00:42.48] Doesn't want to know her any more
[00:45.57] And this girl is a lonely girl
[00:47.52] Every thing she wants is hers
[00:49.32] But she can't make it with the boy she really wants to be with
[00:51.27] All the time, to love, all the time
[00:56.36] This boy is made of envy
[01:00.14] Jealousy
[01:01.56] He doesn't have a limousine
[01:04.21] Really wants to be a star himself
[01:07.66] This girl, her world is made of flashlights and films
[01:13.39] Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor
[01:17.46] And maids of Bond Street drive round in chauffered cars
[01:21.35] Maids of Bond Street picture clothes, eyes of stars
[01:25.63] Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have worldly cares
[01:30.64] Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have love affairs
[01:37.60]
