about

Archetype of rhythmic and effective rock song, Paper Doll is an allegory of the relationship between muse and creator carried by the heady guitars of Geoffrey Burton (Iggy Pop, Alain Bashung, Triggerfinger, etc). Instant classic, the chorus runs through your head all day long. With Paper Doll, James Eleganz returns to his first love of rock accompanied by musicians from his mentor, Iggy Pop
PAPER DOLL is the first single from James Eleganz’s new album «Hotel Augusta». It brings together a dream cast: Toby Dammit ( Stooges, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Bertrand Burgalat, Geoffrey Burton and Mike Watt (Stooges, Minutemen).
Release October 2022

lyrics

Bunny, Bunny Lee
You’re getting high, high and low
All down the line on fiction row
Bunny, Bunny Lee
Stuck inside a world of fantasy
You’re losing touch with reality, (Oh Bunny)
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll

Mary, Mary Lou
Walking down the streets of desire,
You come and fuel my hidden fire
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll

You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll

Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
