[offset:0]
[00:28.28] Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
[00:32.79] Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town
[00:38.47]
[00:46.33] Awaiting the prince in his white Capri
[00:49.88]
[00:50.89] Dynamic young Tarzan courts the bedsit queen
[00:57.94]
[01:04.44] She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene
[01:08.69]
[01:09.25] She's learning her lines from glossy magazines
[01:13.05]
[01:14.05] Stringing all her pearls
[01:15.99] from her childhood dreams
[01:18.48] Auditioning for the leading role
[01:21.98]
[01:22.66] on the silver screen
[01:26.72]
[01:32.83] Patience my tinsel angel,
[01:35.46]
[01:37.33] patience my perfumed child
[01:39.82]
[01:41.38] One day they really love you,
[01:44.75]
[01:45.94] you'll charm them with that smile
[01:49.06]
[01:50.31] But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
[02:01.00]
[02:08.49] Chelsea Monday
[02:13.33]
[04:00.65] In the city of dreamers
[04:02.15] Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of London
[04:08.27]
[04:09.45] Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland
[04:15.13]
[04:16.94] Perform to scattered shadows
[04:19.69]
[04:20.37] on the shattered cobbled aisles
[04:22.87]
[04:24.18] Would she dare recite soliloquies
[04:28.05] at the risk of stark applause
[04:32.10]
[04:38.53] To Chelsea Monday
[04:40.54]
[04:46.39] She'll pray for endless Sundays
[04:49.58]
[04:50.09] as she enters saffron sunsets
[04:53.20]
[04:54.19] Conjure phantom lovers
[04:56.94] from the tattered shreds of dawn
[04:59.96]
[05:00.97] Fulfilled and yet forgotten the St.Tropez mirage
[05:07.03]
[05:08.21] Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose
[05:14.57]
[05:21.61] Of Chelsea Monday
[05:23.67]
[05:28.75] Sweet Chelsea Monday
[05:30.92]
[05:44.34] Patience my tinsel angel,
[05:46.71]
[05:47.78] patience my perfumed child
[05:50.08]
[05:50.83] One day they really love you,
[05:53.39]
[05:54.27] you'll charm them with that smile
[05:56.77]
[05:57.69] But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
[06:06.62]
[06:10.81] Sweet Chelsea Monday
[06:13.11]
[06:27.15] Hello John, did you see the standard
[06:29.83] about four hours ago?
[06:30.83]
[06:31.96] Fished a young chick out of the old father
[06:34.26]
[06:35.51] Blond hair, blue eyes
[06:38.00]
[06:39.13] She said she wanted to be an actress or something
[06:41.25]
[06:42.20] Nobody knows where she came from,
[06:43.68]
[06:44.56] where she was going
[06:45.50]
[06:47.05] Funny thing was she had a smile on her face
[06:49.11]
[06:51.61] She was smiling
[06:52.55]
[06:53.86] What a waste
[06:54.60]
[07:23.93] Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
[07:27.55] Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town
[07:32.67]
[07:37.66] Of Chelsea Monday
[07:39.81]
[07:46.10] Chelsea Monday
[07:47.69] She was only dreaming
[07:48.80]
[07:50.99] She was only dreaming
[07:52.54]
[07:53.55] Chelsea Monday
[07:55.10] She was only dreaming
[07:56.41]
[07:58.67] She was only dreaming
[08:00.22]
[08:01.16] Chelsea Monday
[08:02.65] She was only dreaming
[08:04.15]
[08:06.34] She was only dreaming
[08:07.89]
[08:10.21] She was only dreaming
[08:11.70]
[08:13.96] She was only dreaming
