Gothic Lolita by Emilie Autumn
How old are you?
I'm older than you'll ever be
I've been dead a thousand years
And lived only two or three
I don't mind telling you
My life was ended by your hand
The kind of murder where nobody dies
But I don't suppose you'd understand
Call off the search
We've found her
If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal
I'm not even legal
I'm just a dead little girl
But ruffles and laces
And candy sweet faces
Directed your furtive hand
I perfectly understand
So it's my fault?
No, Gothic Lolita
Thank you, kind sirs
You've made me what I am today
A bundle of broken nerves
A mouthful of words I'm still afraid to say
I don't mind telling you
Now that I'm old enough to love
I couldn't begin to even if
My pretty life depended on it
And funny thing, it does
Call off the search
We've found her
If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal
I'm not even legal
I'm just a dead little girl
But ruffles and laces
And candy sweet faces
Directed your furtive hand
I perfectly understand
So it's my fault?
No, Gothic Lolita
I am your sugar
I am your cream
I am your anti-American dream
I am your sugar
I am your cream
I am your worst nightmare
Now scream
If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal
I'm not even legal
I'm just a dead little girl
But ruffles and laces
And candy sweet faces
Directed your furtive hand
I perfectly understand
So it's my fault?
No, Gothic Lolita

Must try to find that song, the lyrics are great.
Yes they are great, I especially love the line:
"And you should be killed
By an army of little girls." :}
I know it's on Amazon (it's her Opheliac double CD) in the US..as well as on I-Tunes. Sorry if i sound ignorant but i wasn't sure if you have a different kinda Amazon overseas...as well as I-Tunes. :(
I listened to some songs on her official website and I must say I really like what I heard. Reminded me a bit of Kate Bush from time to time, especially 'Shalott'. Will now go hide somewhere in case I get wacked for comparing her to Kate Bush.
Hm, I haven't heard much Kate Bush, so honestly I wouldn't know. Emilie reminds me of a couple people...Amanda from Dresden Dolls as well as Tori Amos. Still, I'd have to say Miss Autumn is in a category of her own...
BTW: Glad you liked what you heard. Love her covers of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Those are wonderful...:)
Oh, and "Dead is the New Alive" (by EA)...had to throw that in since this comment says to be uncheery...;}
