Glamour Gap
Album: Sounds From The Gulf Stream [1999]
I’ve never been one of those girls
With perfect legs and head of curls
And 90 minutes every day
Spent making themselves that way
In Selfridge’s, you see them graze
On beauty creams and AHAs
And liposomes to keep the skin
From cracking up and giving in
Chorus: Acting like I’m just me
Acting like that should be enough
Isn’t where they’re at
Everything else I see
Everything else I do
There’s always a glamour gap
I’ve queued for loos with Dani Behr
She sucks her cheeks, so debonair
Like Barbie, plastic, head to toe
And me standing all aglow
I sometimes try to imitate
These women who exfoliate
I paint my lips all kinds of red
I wax my insect bitten legs
Repeat Chorus
