Teenage Fanclub - He'd Be a Diamond lyrics
[Teenage Fanclub - He'd Be a Diamond lyrics]
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
Or does he mean it this time
Is he running low on affection
And beer and dope dope, and an ironing board
And an unpaid analyst 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 pumping
And he told me just last night
That if he had his chance again
He'd be a diamond
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
Or does he mean it this time
Is he running low on affection
And beer and dope dope, and an ironing board
And an unpaid analyst 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 pumping
And he told me just last night
That if he had his chance again
He'd be a diamond
