Vanity Fair – Tiggy Acworth and Farah Downing 1993

I hate those girls they all look the same,
Ye they might have long legs but they ain’t got brains,
They’ve been, plucking eye brows for Marie Claire,
Walking around with their nose in the air,
Why do you, give a shit what you look like now,
You’ll be over the hill by thirty anyhow
I don’t, want a woman that’s all collagen lips
What the hell’s the use in silicon tits

Oh Kate why don’t you gain some weight?
Help the teenage anorexic state?
Vivien’s clothes, Vogue Vidal hair
It’s all just a jumble of Vanity Fair!

See those girls in Harpers and Queen
Skinny as hell and still in their teens?
Older women (older women) picture the day
When their wrinkly skin will vanish away
Fantasising heavenly scenes, glossy catwalk magazines
Take the hint and retire in style,
Your beauty is fading with every smile

Oh Kate why don’t you gain some weight?
Help the teenage anorexic state?
Vivien’s clothes, Vogue Vidal hair
It’s all just a jumble of Vanity Fair!

Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair!
