Lyrics:
Lolitapop Dollhouse [Version (a)]:
Tell me I'm allowed to play the Fender Jaguar
Like the Velvet Underground
Tell me I'm allowed to hammer on a drum kit
Crazy for the love of sound
I'm gonna tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
Bad girls are exactly who they want to be
And bad girls see exactly who they want to see
Bad girls are allowed because they're just too proud
To care what what people say; they do it anyway
I'm gonna tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
I'm sick of being Alice in Wonderland
Sick of living in Victorian England
I'm sick of being a porcelain girl in a porcelain world
Is that all you ever wanted me to be?
If you want me, I'll be shooting with the junkies
If you want me, I'll be swinging with the monkeys
If you really love me, smash the walls around me
If you really want me, take me how you found me
Tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
Tell me I'm allowed to be
Tell me I'm allowed to see
Tell me I'm allowed to touch the world around me
Tell me I can make love to anyone anywhere
Jump into the crowd, wet with sweat and the music is loud
Baby you're allowed to jump into the crowd
When you're wet with sweat and the music is loud
That's great
That's great
Tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
Babypop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
Tell me I'm allowed to play the Fender Jaguar
Like the Velvet Underground
Tell me I'm allowed to hammer on a drum kit
Crazy for the love of sound
I'm gonna tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
Bad girls are exactly who they want to be
And bad girls see exactly who they want to see
Bad girls are allowed because they're just too proud
To care what what people say; they do it anyway
I'm gonna tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
I'm sick of being Alice in Wonderland
Sick of living in Victorian England
I'm sick of being a porcelain girl in a porcelain world
Is that all you ever wanted me to be?
If you want me, I'll be shooting with the junkies
If you want me, I'll be swinging with the monkeys
If you really love me, smash the walls around me
If you really want me, take me how you found me
Tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
In a baby pop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
Tell me I'm allowed to be
Tell me I'm allowed to see
Tell me I'm allowed to touch the world around me
Tell me I can make love to anyone anywhere
Jump into the crowd, wet with sweat and the music is loud
Baby you're allowed to jump into the crowd
When you're wet with sweat and the music is loud
That's great
That's great
Tear my playhouse down
Lolitapop dollhouse
Babypop wall of sound
Lolitapop dollhouse
The Song:
"Lolitapop Dollhouse" is a song from 1997, written by Momus for the Japanese singer, Kahimi Karie. There are two versions of the song: one which Kahimi Karie sings on her album Larme De Crocodile (released as Kahimi Karie in the US), and another without her and Momus singing the lead which he put on his album, Ping Pong. (I believe both recordings to be the same, just with different lead singers. Could be wrong.)
A sample of Beck's harmonica playing runs through the song. I guess the sample comes from a Beck bootleg, but his management had them credit it as if Beck played on it.
