ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "Shabby Doll"

Giving you more of what for
Always worked for me before
Now I'm a shabby doll

What's going on behind the green elevator door
With just a shabby doll


[Chorus:]
There's a hit man facing
A compromising situation

With just a shabby doll
And a very neat line in character $$#assination
She's just a shabby doll


She's just a shabby doll
She's putting him off and putting you on

She's just the shabby doll
You're swearing upon you know in your heart
She's gone you know in your heart

She's just a shabby doll

There's a girl in this dress

There's always a girl in distress
She's just a shabby doll
She's so sure she's self-possessed

Then again she's half undressed
She's just a shabby doll


The boy that I used to be
Showed no sign of sympathy
For just a shabby doll

I have betrayed you and me
And paid for my own bribery
With just a shabby doll


[Chorus]


He's the tired toy that everyone enjoyed
He wants to be a fancy man but he's nothing but a nancy boy
He's all pride and no joy


And being what you might call a !@^%
Always worked for me before

Now I'm a shabby doll
Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag
But won't show his claws

He's just a shabby doll

She said you must be joking

Some things are left unspoken
You're just a shabby doll
He's lying limp and soaking

He was openly broken
By just a shabby doll


[Chorus]
