Your Only Doll (dora) Lyrics - Alas I Cannot Swim - Laura Marling

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? 

there's a house across the river 

But alas I cannot swim 

And a garden of such beauty 

That the flower seem to grin 

there's a house across the river 

But alas I cannot swim 

I live my life regretting 

That I never jumped in 

Photos 

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 

Now 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 be 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 

Saying work more, earn more 

Live more, have more fun
