Bowie, David - Maid Of Bond Street Lyrics
This girl is made of lipstick
Powder and paint
Sees the picture of herself
Every magazine on every shelf
This girl is maid of bond street
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, don't smile at her
This girl is made of loneliness
A broken heart
For the boy she once knew
Doesn't want to know her any more
And this girl is a lonely girl
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
Jealousy
He doesn't have a limousine
Really wants to be a star himself
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 star
Maids of Bond street shouldn't have worldly cares
Maids of Bond street shouldn't have love affairs

The piano is great on this.
I just love this . I like everything from the Images album . It's like a walk through 60s London . 🇬🇧 🎩👑
"Her cares are scraps on the cutting room floor" .. . love that lyric. He was already a good songwriter back at this time. Didn't quite have the right style and image yet though.
@jason cox Not keen on the suggestion that mental health issues preclude intelligence and lucidity TBH!
@the womble I didn't mean that. I worked in mental health for 13 years and was good at it because i didn't make that assumption. If you take it in context it was about his drug intake. I certainly wasn't suggesting people with issues can't be intelligent or lucid, that's silly. Not a meant suggestion at all. And he possibly did struggle mentally with the lifestyle at times anyhow.
@jason cox My apologies. i got the wrong end of the stick. Take care mate.
@the womble I've done it before loads of times womble. You keep wombling free my friend.
@jason cox Ha, nice one, i'll do my best!
Waltzing David!
