She was swinging from her handbag on the King's Road
|
Fresh from boarding school and double barreled shame
|
Now there are worms in her skin
|
She's razor thin, her eyes are pinned
|
I get the, "Daddy never noticed" story again
|
|
She takes me to a warehouse in the city
|
Her gaze as vacant as a byline in the news
|
And I reach in disbelief then resign myself
|
She's slumming it in someone else's shoes
|
|
Burberry blue eyes
|
This town is not so small
|
If you take everyone to bed
|
And leave the lights all on
|
Somebody will see it all
|
|
The details of your midnight operations
|
The tears you've been spreading around
|
And your story's so predictable
|
You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
|
|
Oh, she was brought up from a distance by the usual
|
Rattlers and tattlers from the best guarded schools
|
Auditioning to be an obituary in the Daily Mail
|
The yawning scandal of the daughter of the duchess breaking rules
|
|
Burberry blue eyes
|
This town is not so small
|
If you bang him in the car
|
And leave the doors wide open
|
Somebody will see it all
|
|
You're becoming so predictable
|
You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
|
|
I get plugged in at another phony party
|
Convinced that now there's really nothing left to lose
|
'Til I turn around and watch her disappearing
|
He's got his hand in her pocket, she's got her eye on his shoes
|
|
And I know I've been converted to old currency
|
Somebody new will guarantee her bootleg soul
|
I'll be her proof of purchase counter trophy
|
And help her die a little more, deeper in her hole
|
|
Burberry blue eyes
|
I guess, we're just not meant to be
|
If you blow him in the club
|
And leave your eyes wide open
|
Somebody is going to see
|
|
The details of your midnight operations
|
The tears you've been swallowing down
|
And your story's so predictable
|
The end so unavoidable
|
I've never seen you earn your thrills
|
You've spent too long just hanging around
|
|
Oh, Burberry blue eyes
|
Oh, Burberry blue eyes
|
Oh, Burberry blue eyes
|
Oh, Burberry blue eyes
|
