Teenage Fanclub - He'd Be A Diamond lyrics

rate me

<i>[CAPO 3rd FRET]</i>

When the tape runs out, the music keeps playing

When the walls come down, it's still hard to cross the line

When his love is gone, he says he still needs her

And he wants to let you know, that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond

When you dab your eyes, your tears keep on falling

When you blow your nose, it still gets blocked up and runs

And though you feel like shit, he says you look beautiful

And he swears by all the saints, that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond

Is he lying to get what he wants

Does he mean it this time

Is he running low on affection

And feeling dope and an ironing board

And an unpaid elvis who shags

When you turn your back, you still see what's behind you

When you start afresh, you still think of days gone by

When a heart is broken, it still goes on thumping

And he told me just last night, that if he had his chance again

He'd be a diamond
