Lyrics
Bourgeois Girl
Copyright 2003 Paul Hayes BMI
You're a moonbeam, you're a wildcat, you were always up to
scratch.
You loved to spin in a social whirl.
In my mind's eye, you are smiling, you are pleasantly corrupt.
I used to call you the Bourgeois Girl
Chorus:
While I was loving you, you were tripping the light fantastic.
You loved to spin in a social whirl.
While I was loving you, always fell for the cheap theatrics.
I used to call you the Bourgeois Girl.
And your mother, queen of the suburbs.
She was pleasantly corrupt.
She never liked the look of me.
And your father, he wore a necktie on his pyjama top.
He was a sergeant of industry.
...Chorus
The Thing I miss is, your lovin' kisses.
They were French, golden and utterly malicious.
You were the apple of my eye.
In my mind's eye, you are smiling.
You are pleasantly corrupt.
Goodbye, my Bourgeois Girl, goodbye.
...Chorus
In my mind's eye, you are smiling, you are pleasantly corrupt...
