Maid Of Bond Street

David Bowie

1. This girl is made of lipstick
   Powder and paint
   Sees the pictures of herself
   Every magazine on every shelf
   
2. This girl is maid of Bond Street
   lunches with executives
   Gleaming teeth sip aperitifs

R: 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

3. This girl is made of loneliness
   For the boy that she once knew
   Doesn't want to know her any more

R: And this girl is a lonely girl
   Every thing 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

4. This boy is made of envy
   Jealousy
   He doesn't have a limousine
   Really wants to be a star himself

R: This girl, her world is made of flashlights and films
   Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor
   
*: And maids of Bond Street drive round in chauffered 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
