The Busy Girl Buys Beauty — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

The busy girl buys beauty

The pretty girl buys style

And the simple girl buys

What shes told to buy

And sees her world

Through the brightly lit eyes

Of the glossy romance of fashion

Where she can learn...

Top tips for the gas cook

Successful secrets of a sexual kind

The daily drill for beautiful hair

And the truth about pain



What was anna ford wearing?

What did angela rippon say?

What will you do

When you wake up one morning

To find that gods made you plain

In a beautiful persons world?

And all those quick recipes

Have let you down

And youre 20½ and not yet engaged

Will you go look for the boy who says

I love you lets get married and have kids



The busy girl buys beauty

The pretty girl buys style

And the simple girl buys

What shes told to buy

Through the brightly lit eyes

Of the glossy romance of fashion

Where she can learn...

Top tips for the gas cook

Successful secrets of a sexual kind

The daily drill for beautiful hair

In a mail order paradise...
