Richard Thompson - Broken Doll Lyrics
You called for me so here I am
Not a boy and not a man
Man enough to know the odds are long
They dress you up and keep you clean
Like courtiers around a queen
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won't mend a broken doll
The little things in life escape her
Dolls are made of rags and paper
China cracks and chips so easily
Doesn't have the will, the strength
To hold the world out at arm's length
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won't mend a broken doll
Wish I could give love to you
And life to you and hope to you
As you look through me to something else
In your face I think I see
Twisted-up infinity
Angel soul imprisoned in a shell
All the tears in the world
All the tears in the world
Won't mend a broken doll

Richard Thompson Broken Doll Comments
There is just no end to this man's range. What a lyric, what an arrangement, what a naked soul in the voice.
Much prefer Thompson's compositions from the 1970's.He has gotten too far away from his main strength - British folk music.
He goes where he goes. Nobody really took his racehorse away.
I love this song!!!!lol so good!!!
A stunning, stunning song. Like clockwork running down.
LOVE this song.. RT rules!!
creepy song
@cycloptical26 No one does creepy songs like RT--check out "Cold Kisses", "Hope You Like the New Me", etc.
Behind Grey Walls too.
Love the mix of wet and dry. Gorgeous
