Maid Of Bond Street Lyrics - David Bowie

1 This girl is made of lipstick

2 Powder and paint

3 Sees the pictures of herself

4 Every magazine on every shelf

5 This girl is maid of Bond Street

6 Hailing cabs, lunches with executives

7 Gleaming teeth sip aperitifs

8 This girl is a lonely girl

9 Takes the train from Paddington to Oxford Circus

10 Buys the Daily News

11 But passengers don't smile at her, don't smile at her

12 This girl is made of loneliness

13 A broken heart

14 For the boy that she once knew

15 Doesn't want to know her any more

16 And this girl is a lonely girl

17 Every thing she wants is hers

18 But she can't make it with the boy she really wants to be with

19 All the time, to love, all the time

20 This boy is made of envy

21 Jealousy

22 He doesn't have a limousine

23 Really wants to be a star himself

24 This girl, her world is made of flashlights and films

25 Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor

26 And maids of Bond Street drive round in chauffered cars

27 Maids of Bond Street picture clothes, eyes of stars

28 Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have worldly cares

29 Maids of Bond Street shouldn't have love affairs
