Lyrics

[00:06.70] She was swinging from her handbag on the King's Road
[00:09.59]
[00:10.40] Fresh from boarding school and double barreled shame
[00:12.77]
[00:13.83] Now there are worms in her skin
[00:15.58] She's razor thin, her eyes are pinned
[00:17.54] I get the, "Daddy never noticed" story again
[00:20.97]
[00:21.60] She takes me to a warehouse in the city
[00:24.25]
[00:24.87] Her gaze as vacant as a byline in the news
[00:27.74]
[00:29.11] And I reach in disbelief then resign myself
[00:31.87]
[00:32.77] She's slumming it in someone else's shoes
[00:36.27] Burberry blue eyes
[00:39.60]
[00:40.10] This town is not so small
[00:42.75]
[00:43.44] If you take everyone to bed
[00:45.57] And leave the lights all on
[00:47.65] Somebody will see it all
[00:50.23]
[00:51.30] The details of your midnight operations
[00:54.87] The tears you've been spreading around
[00:57.87]
[00:58.49] And your story's so predictable
[00:59.89] You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
[01:06.86]
[01:09.42] Oh, she was brought up from a distance by the usual
[01:12.76] Rattlers and tattlers from the best guarded schools
[01:15.85]
[01:16.48] Auditioning to be an obituary in the Daily Mail
[01:20.39] The yawning scandal of the daughter of the duchess breaking rules
[01:24.47] Burberry blue eyes
[01:27.25]
[01:28.06] This town is not so small
[01:31.25] If you bang him in the car
[01:33.33] And leave the doors wide open
[01:35.64] Somebody will see it all
[01:38.32]
[01:39.01] You're becoming so predictable
[01:41.15] You spent too long just hanging around, hanging around
[01:48.10]
[01:58.28] I get plugged in at another phony party
[02:00.44]
[02:01.00] Convinced that now there's really nothing left to lose
[02:03.89]
[02:04.60] 'Til I turn around and watch her disappearing
[02:07.56]
[02:08.39] He's got his hand in her pocket, she's got her eye on his shoes
[02:12.33] And I know I've been converted to old currency
[02:15.60] Somebody new will guarantee her bootleg soul
[02:19.35] I'll be her proof of purchase counter trophy
[02:22.99] And help her die a little more, deeper in her hole
[02:27.38] Burberry blue eyes
[02:30.33]
[02:31.02] I guess, we're just not meant to be
[02:33.60]
[02:34.41] If you blow him in the club
[02:36.23] And leave your eyes wide open
[02:38.04]
[02:38.62] Somebody is going to see
[02:40.99]
[02:41.85] The details of your midnight operations
[02:45.51] The tears you've been swallowing down
[02:49.08] And your story's so predictable
[02:51.38] The end so unavoidable
[02:53.08] I've never seen you earn your thrills
[02:55.41] You've spent too long just hanging around
[02:57.86]
[03:08.47] Oh, Burberry blue eyes
[03:11.66]
[03:12.79] Oh, Burberry blue eyes
[03:15.98]
[03:17.81] Oh, Burberry blue eyes
[03:20.82]
[03:22.69] Oh, Burberry blue eyes
[03:25.64]
[03:26.59]
