Available on any of a number of compilations of His early works, I have "London Boy." The words go by pretty quickly in some places. Even if I can't make out the words, I've put in nonsense syllables that approximate them.

^EThis girl is made of ^F#mlipstick, ^GPowder and paint, ^CSees the pictures of her^Amself, ^Fevery magazine on^G every shelf. ^EThis girl is Maid of ^F#mBond Street, ^Ghailing cabs, ^CLunches with exe^Amcutives, ^Fgleaming teeth, sipa^Gparatives (thats what the words sound like, I have no idea what they really are.)

^EThis girl is a ^Dlonely girl ^ETakes the train from Banning ^DTurn(?) to Oxford Turn(?) She ^Ereads the daily news but ^Dpassengers Don't ^Csmile at her, oh ^Amno, don't ^Fsmile at ^Gher.

^EThis girl is made of ^F#mloneliness, a ^Gbroken heart ^CFor the boy that ^Amshe once knew ^Fdoesn't want to know her ^Ganymore.

And ^Ethis girl is a ^Dlonely girl, ^EEverything she wants is ^Dhers but she can't make it ^EWith the boy she really ^Dwants to be with All the ^Ctime, to ^Amlove ^Fall the ^Gtime.

^EThis boy is made of ^F#menvy, ^Gjealosy He ^Cdoesn't have a ^Amlimosine, ^Freally wants to be a ^Gstar himself.

And ^Ethis girl, ^Gher world is ^Amade of ^Dflashlights and ^Gfilm ^GHer cares are ^Ascratched on the ^Dcutting room ^Gfloor And ^GMaid of ^CBond Street, ^Fride 'round in ^Gchauffeured cars ^GMaid of ^CBond Street, ^Fpicture clothes, ^Geyes of stars ^GMaid of ^CBond Street, ^Fchildren have ^Glove affairs G C (tacet) Maid of Bond Street, children have worldly cares.

FCCCFG. Ending on the G works, and I haven't figured out the last little bit. So there it is. toomey@sos.net
