Maid of Bond Street - David Bowie

Available on any of a number of compilations of his early works, I have

"London Boy."

This girl is made of lipstick, powder and paint,

Sees the pictures of herself, every magazine on every shelf.

This girl is Maid of Bond Street, hailing cabs,

Lunches with executives, gleaming teeth sip aperitifs

This girl is a lonely girl

Takes the train from Paddington to Oxford Circus

Buys the Daily News but passengers

Don't smile at her, oh no, don't smile at her.

This girl is made of loneliness, a broken heart

For the boy that she once knew doesn't want to know her anymore.

And this girl is a lonely girl,

Everything she wants is hers but she can't make it

With the boy she really wants to be with

All the time, to love all the time.

This boy is made of envy, jealosy

He doesn't have a limosine, really wants to be a star himself.

And this girl, her world is made of flashlights and film

Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor

And Maids of Bond Street ride 'round in chauffeured cars

Maids of Bond Street picture clothes, eyes of stars

Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have worldly cares

G C N.C.

Maids of Bond street shouldn't have love affairs

Ending on the G works, and I haven't figured out the last little bit.

So there it is.
