Laura Marling - Your Only Doll (Dora) lyrics

rate me

I fell into the street

Poison in my veins

Clamber to my feet

And into the night again

Back to my home

Back to my owner

Who screams at my tardiness,

Put his hands to the sky

And says

'What can I do, with a girl

If she refuses to be mine?'

In his bed I am queen

Unobtainable me

Sexual being

Human with feelings

The two are not me

The two will not be mine

And what can you do

With a girl, if she

Refuses to be mine?

Put his hand on my shirt

Hand on my face

Head to the wall

When you've broken your only doll

And what will you do

With a girl

If she refuses to be alive?

And you've broken your only doll

And what will you do with a girl

If she's refusing to be alive?

birds singing

There's a house across the river

But alas, i cannot swim

And a garden of such beauty

That the flower's seem to grin

There's a house across the river

But alas, i cannot swim

I'll it's not love but live my life regretting

That I never jumped in

There's a boy across the river

With short, black, curly hair

He wants to be my lover

And I want to be his peer

There's a boy across the river

But alas I cannot swim

And I never will get to put my arms around him

There's a life across the river

That was meant for me

Instead I live my life in constant misery.

There's a life across the river

But I do not see

Why I should please those who will never be pleased.

There is gold across the river

But I don't want none

There is gold across the river

But I don't want none

Gold is fleeting

Gold is fickle

Gold is fun

Gold is fleeting

Gold is fickle

Gold is fun

There is gold across the river

But I don't want none

I would rather tried

Than held up by a golden gun

Saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun

Saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
