Lyrics Diamonds - Goodbye Mr MacKenzie

Diamonds

You gave your heart to me
Then your teeth ran straight through me
And your love was once precious
It is now just infectious
Said it was apple
Onion it was
But I’ll taste the sweetness
You thought was yours
A slice of the ocean
I’ll take as my prize
Tears in your eyes
Bow your head
Like a child in shame
Cause I don’t want diamonds
Say your prayers
Because I am insane
And I don’t want diamonds
Tell your tale to the soldiers
Say 'he failed" to your mother
You’re just a b**** in clover
Take your trash to another
You played the big dog
You bit now and then
But I can cause terror
Like the mousiest men
I became scared
In your amusement park
But all your trees last their bark
Hold out your palm to the king
Cause I don’t want diamonds
Say your prayers
Because I am insane
And I don’t want diamonds
Don’t give me your diamonds
Don’t give me your gold
I don’t want your dirty money
I want my pride that you stole
My pride that you stole
They won’t take me back
They won’t take me down
They won’t take me back
To coal dust town
Cause there’s no gold
In coal dust town
They won’t take me down
They won’t take me back
To coal dust town
They won’t take me down
To coal dust town
