Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)

Don't blame your daughter,

that's just sentimental

don't blame your mum,

for all that you've done wrong

your daddy's not guilty,

you came out a little faulty

and the factory closed,

so you can't hold them liable



You come from an island,

your cutting diamonds, with a rubber knife

your autograph's worthless,

so dont send me letters and dont mail me cash,

cause your money is no good,

what's left in your mattress,

is holes and lack of love left

some hair from a horse,

but none of it is yours, man



You come from an island,

you're cutting diamonds

with a rubber knife

And the song you sing today

wasn't always in your head,

the words you tryin' to say

are the ones you should've said

they're glistenin' like diamonds,

go out and find' em

but don't blame your daughter



Read me your tombstone,

tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,

you owe me something still

Blood is like water

the bath that you poured me

has drained and it's gone,

don't blame it on your son



And the song you sing today

wasn't always in your head,

the words you're tryin' to say

are the ones you shouldn've said

they're glistening like diamonds,

go out and find'em



The world is full of diamonds

go out and find'em

but don't blame your daughter
