Maid of Bond Street, David Bowie.
Available on any of a number of compilations of His early works, I have
"London Boy."
The words go by pretty quickly in some places. Even if I can't make out the
words, I've put in nonsense syllables that approximate them.

E F#m G
This girl is made of lipstick, Powder and paint,
C Am F G
Sees the pictures of herself, every magazine on every shelf.
E F#m G
This girl is Maid of Bond Street, hailing cabs,
C Am F G
Lunches with executives, gleaming teeth, sipaparatives (thats what the words
sound like, I have no
idea what they really are.)

E D
This girl is a lonely girl
E D
Takes the train from Banning Turn(?) to Oxford Turn(?)
E D
She reads the daily news but passengers
C Am F G
Don't smile at her, oh no, don't smile at her.

E F#m G
This girl is made of loneliness, a broken heart
C Am F G
For the boy that she once knew doesn't want to know her anymore.

And this girl is a lonely girl,
E D
Everything she wants is hers but she can't make it

With the boy she really wants to be with
C Am F G
All the time, to love all the time.

C Am F G
He doesn't have a limosine, really wants to be a star himself.

E G A D G
And this girl, her world is made of flashlights and film

Her cares are scratched on the cutting room floor

Maid of Bond Street, picture clothes, eyes of stars
G C F G
Maid of Bond Street, children have love affairs

Ending on the G works, and I haven't figured out the last little bit. So
there it is.
