Biography:

Rialto were a Britpop band of the late 1990s in the UK and known as that unlucky band who were dropped twice from East West Records. The band grew from the Oxygen/MCA Records act Kinky Machine that featured singer Louis Eliot (pictured, second from right) and Johnny Bull (pictured, far right). They released their first album, Rialto in 1998, and their second, Night on Earth in 2002. Their most famous single is their debut, 'Monday Morning 5:19'. However the single 'Untouchable' charted higher at number 20 in the UK.

[Intro]

Em Am Em Am


[Verse 1]

Em Am Em
Back when she was a girl there was a plan to see her through her life:
Am Em
Get married, settle down and have some kids and be a good housewife
Am Em
But she would go to bed at night, with Day-Glo stars and fairy lights
Am G
Stuck on the ceiling of her room as she dreamed of another life.


[Chorus]

C G C Em C
Now it’s too late to go back home, it’s saccharine and silicone, for a broken Barbie doll
G C G C Em C
It’s sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll.

Em Am


[Verse 2]

Em Am Em
And though the hands that played with her were cold, she let them drag her down
Am G
And as her cardboard world begins to fold, she’s lying on the ground.


[Chorus]

C G C Em C
Now it’s too late to go back home, it’s saccharine and silicone, for a broken Barbie doll
G C G C Em C
Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d rather not recall for a broken Barbie doll.


[Verse 3]

Am C Am Em
Her mother writes her every week, she says she’s worried for her health
G Am
Her dad says she’s finding her feet, but now she’s lying on the shelf
Cm Em
Like faulty goods that are returned, her pretty fingers are all burned.

Em Am


[Chorus]

G C G C Em C
Now it’s too late to go back home, it’s saccharine and silicone for a broken Barbie doll
G C G C Em C
Sleeping pills and alcohol, and nights she’d really rather not recall for a broken Barbie,
Em
Broken Barbie doll.


[Outro]

C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
For a broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
For a broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
C Em
Broken Barbie, broken Barbie doll.
