Lucy Grace can't show her face

Down in the North End Road

For in Belgravia

Rumors have been whispered

And suggestions have been made

Did you sell your frieds out

When the heat got too intense?

You say you like the danger

But it's only a pretense

You say you need the money

When everybody knows you can always

Fall back on you inheritance

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

Who's that sneaking 'round the door?

You can't come here no more

Can't you go home again?

She used to sit alone for hours

Spend her evening watering dried flowers

When her mother came to stay

And finally went to bed

Lucy Grace was in the frontroom

Shooting through your

She tried to take your breath away

And give you something else instead

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

Next year she'll serve her function

In that Audrey Hepburn hat

It still won't suit her much

But she'll get over that

She'll be pale and feign indifference

As they're handing out the prizes

Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom

And her ugly sister's tranquilisers

Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?

When you hurt so easily and you try so hard

Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide?

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
