Artist/Band: Marina And The Diamonds
Lyrics for Song: The Family Jewels
Lyrics for Album: The Family Jewels [2010]



I can't break the cycle

Am I just a fool?

Falling down like dominoes

Hit by family jewels



Pass it down from kid to kid

The chain will never end

Unless I decide to go to it

Will I see the end?



Oh, don't you find it strange?

Only thing we share is one last name

Did I beat you at your own game?

Typical of me to put us all to shame



Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool



Family said that I decided

To live a loveless life

Is it my fault we stay divided

'Cause I've got too much pride

Pass the parcel, wrap unwrap

And open up the locks

Out come flying all the secrets

Of Pandora's Box



Oh you think I'm unfit

Little did you know that I was cut for it

No glass slipper will ever fit

'Cause I could never see a diamond in it



Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool



And when we're in the dark

It echoes in your heart

And when you're far away

It beckons me to stay



And when we're in the dark

It echoes in your heart

And when you're far away

It beckons me to stay



Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool



Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool



I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool


The Family Jewels - Marina and the Diamonds

Released in 2010, "The Family Jewels" serves as the title track and central theme on Marina and the Diamonds' debut album of the same name. The song exemplifies her early signature style, blending pop sensibilities with introspective lyrics that explore themes of identity, fame, and the pressures of public scrutiny. With its distinctive vocal delivery and rhythmic structure, the track established her reputation as a unique voice in contemporary pop music. As a defining moment in her discography, it captures the intersection of personal vulnerability and performative artistry that would characterize her subsequent work, including her later shift toward electronic and experimental sounds. The recording remains a key reference point for understanding the evolution of her musical journey from her initial breakthrough to her diverse catalog of recordings.
