Laura Marling - Your Only Doll (Dora) Lyrics
I fell into the street, poison in my veinsClambered to my feet and into the night againBack to my home, back to my ownerWho screams at my tardinessPut his hands to the skyAnd says, what can I do with a girl If she refuses to be mine?In his bed I am queen, unobtainable meSexual being, human with feelingsThe two are not meThe two will not be mine.And what can you do with a girl,If she refuses to be mine?Put his hand on my shirtHand on my face,Head to the wallWhen you've broken your only dollAnd what will you do with a girlIf she refuses to be alive?And you've broken your only dollAnd what will you do with a girlIf she's refusing to be alive?There's a house across the riverBut alas I cannot swimAnd a garden of such beautyThat the flower seem to grinThere's a house across the riverBut alas I cannot swimI live my life regrettingThat I never jumped inThere's a boy across the riverWith short black curly hairHe wants to be my loverAnd I want to be his peerThere's a boy across the riverBut alas I cannot swimNow never will I get to putMy arms around himThere's a life across the riverThat was meant for meInstead I live my life in constant miseryThere's a life across the riverBut I do not seeWhy I should please thoseWho will never be pleasedThere is gold across the riverBut I don't want noneThere is gold across the riverBut I don't want noneGold is fleeting, gold is fickleGold is funGold is fleeting, gold is fickleGold is funThere is gold across the riverBut I don't want noneI would rather be triedThen held up by a gold gunSaying work more, earn moreLive more, have more funSaying work more, earn moreLive more, have more funSaying work more, earn moreLive more, have more fun
