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