Broken hearted Barbie doll
procession of a funeral
in fake tan happy hour
all the cars roll by
to stand in a line outside
Busker's yankee tones on Dudley Street
angry man with a pram on Temple Street
call the police I jumped off my shelf
run away with a heavy heart
cos I don't know what to say
or where to start
Don't you call me back
from my quiet corner of the world
where I sit I think there is no time
out of the corner of my eye
I see her cry
I see her cry my
Broken hearted Barbie doll
left at the altar
and the wedding goes on
without her drinking fine champagne
and a man in a white van
stopped to complain at the hold up
she's holding the whole bloody world up
in fake tan happy hour
all the cars roll by to stand in a line
Well don't you call me back
from my quiet corner of the world
where I sit I think there is no time
and out of the corner of my eye
I see her cry
I heave a sigh
Well don't you call me back
from my quiet corner
sellotape my memories back together
want to jump in forget everything
round here so strange
and so queer to me
Broken hearted barbie doll
procession of a funeral
in fake tan happy hour
all the cars roll by
to stand in a line
Skinny boys plain girls
won't you run and hide
no one's going to love you
for the look in your eyes
Come hide with me hide away
away from it all come away
I'm away from the world
I'm away
