Burberry Blue Eyes

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
