Hate Paper Doll Lyrics
Hate paper doll
You never get cut, but you're looking at me
Hate paper doll
You never get back, but you never can see
Taking it all, cut from a sack that you got on tv
Paid for it all, taking it back 'cause i wanted it free
Wanted it free now, you just want it to be just like me
You never get cut, but you're looking at me
Hate paper doll
You never get back, but you never can see
Paid for it all, taking it back 'cause i wanted it free
Wanted it free now, you just want it to be just like me

This IS an excellent Husker Du song. The song is an admonishment of a jealous friend. "Cut from a sack that you got on TV" doesn't make sense to me, but I love the way Bob sings it.
Excellent Husker Du song. I thought it deserved at least one comment. So...there you go.

What the heck is a "hate paper doll"?
[–]Bob_Mould[S] 34 points 4 years ago I don't know! I came up with the melody and cadence of the syllables (DAH-DAH, dah DAHHHH), then I guess I just fit some words into the sounds. Jon Wurster is always at me to play that song!
