Lyrics Diamonds - The Damned

Diamonds

Diamonds
What’s the big idea about diamonds?
People singing songs about shallow diamonds
Diamonds
Wars are being fought over diamonds
Lives are sold and bought for those shallow diamonds
Compressed carbon is what they are
No more use than a candy bar
Won’t make you into a superstar
Diamonds
Can you call it love without diamonds?
I don’t give a stuff about shallow diamonds
Diamonds
«Just a stone, but tell 'em it’s priceless!»
Advertising hyping those shallow diamonds
Got the magic to make you drool
Make a businessman shaggable
How’d the whole of the world get fooled?
Diamonds
You can blow the lot on a diamond
You can lose the plot over shallow diamonds
Compressed carbon is what they are
No more use than a candy bar
Won’t make you into a superstar
They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend
They keep on shining 'til the bitter end
Well, come on — yeah baby, come on
They ain’t forever, don’t go kidding me
I know you ladies like your jewelry
But it’s only make believe
Diamonds
What’s the big idea about diamonds?
Someone ask De Beers about shallow diamonds
Diamonds
Wars are being fought over diamonds
Lives are sold and bought for shallow diamonds
Compressed carbon is what they are
No more use than a candy bar
Won’t make you into a superstar
Diamonds
What’s the big idea about diamonds?
About diamonds
About diamonds
Diamonds
