Don't Blame Your Daughter (Diamonds)

Don't blame your daughter

That's just sentimental

And don't blame your mum

For all that you've done wrong

Your daddy's is not guilty

You came out a little faulty

And the factory closed

So you can't hold them liable

You come from an island

You're cutting diamonds

With a rubber knife

Your autograph's is worthless

So don't send me letters

And don't 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

And none of it is yours, man

You come from an island

You're cutting diamonds

With a rubbery knife

And the song you sing today

Wasn't always in your head

The words you try to say

Are the ones you should've said

They're glistening like diamonds

Go out and find them

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 is gone

Don't blame it on your son

And the song you sing today

Wasn't always in your head

The words you try to say

Are the ones you should've said

They're glistening like diamonds

Go out and find them, boy!

The world is full of diamonds

Go out and find them

But don't blame your daughter
