Elvis Costello - Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
Only you do
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline?
Or do you?

Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution

You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
You can pull his hair with your moveable fingers
It looks so real
If one won't do it, so collect the set
Dress him in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
How does this feel?

Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution

What's that sound?
It will turn you around
It's a doll revolution

They're taking over
And they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution

You can pull and pinch him
'Til he cries and squeals
You can twist his body 'til it faces backwards
Those plastic features
You could make somebody a pretty little wife
But don't let anybody tell you how to live your life
Broken pieces

Tear off your own head
Tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
Tear off your own head
Revolution

Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele - Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution) - 2001 Demo (03:47)
HQ version: www.youtube.com The great Elvis Costello wrote this rocking song, but before it appeared
on his 2002 album 'When I Was Cruel', the track was demoed in 2001 by both himself and the tandem of
Susanna Hoffs & Michael Steele who, along with the rest of The Bangles, would also eventually record
a proper version for their 2003 comeback LP 'Doll Revolution'.
