Story Behind The Song
The only young daughter of a wealthy couple. Has absolutely anything she asks for and is the idol of her father's eye. As she grows, she realises that throwing a tantrum will get almost anything she wants. The song questions the wisdom of such an upbringing for the child.
Song Description
The main instrument is the acoustic guitar with a strong female vocal. The vocal chorus has a slight unexpected 'shock' element. A bridge leads into powerful overdriven but very melodic electric guitar solo. An organ plays throughout adding to the atmosphere.

Lyrics
Pink ribbons and party dresses
Shiny shoes and curly tresses
Making all my happy times
Magic tricks and nursery rhymes
A figurine upon the shelf
A little piece for myself
Scream, scream, scream
Hello daddy what's in pieces?
A broken toy for your princess
It's all busted, what a shame
Get another, they're all the same
Scream, scream, scream
A little lonely one
She's screaming on the floor
Is she the only one?
Is this the love she's looking for?
Scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream, scream
Where are all the happy times?
Broken toys don't sing their nursery rhymes
