Maid Of Bond Street
David Bowie
From: toomey 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 Maids of Bond street shouldn’t have love affairs [Outro lick] e|--5/6--5p3p0-------------3~~~------------| B|--------------------3--------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| Ending on the G works and I haven’t figured out the last little bit.
