Diamonds On The Inside '2003

1. Diamonds On The Inside
I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.

She couldnt spend one day alone
But she couldnt be satisfied.

When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use.

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune you need.

So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

Like a soldier standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief.

But she had diamonds on the inside
Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

2. Brown Eyed Blues
If I knew being here with you today,
Would mean being alone tomorrow.
I would gladly trade all of my tomorrows away
For a moment with you.

Brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool.
Say yeah,yeah,yeah

Can you look,can you look into my eyes
Or has your heart,said has your heart gone blind?
Can you look,can you look into your own
And find the safe place to hide.

Brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool.
Say yeah,yeah,yeah

Why be with strangers
When you can be with your friend.
If you're ever lonely
You know I'm lonely too
And i will stay lonely until I'm again with you.

I said brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool.
Say yeah,yeah,yeah
I said brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool.
Singing brown eyed

3. Amen Omen
What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned in to a scream.
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen.
I don't know where you came from
And I dont know where you've gone.
Old friends become old strangers
Between darkness and the door

Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?

I still hear you saying
All of life is chance,
And is sweetest,is sweetest when at a glance
But I live,
I live a hundred lifetimes in a day.
But I die a little
In every breath I take.

Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?

I listen to a whisper,
Slowly drift away.
Silence is a loudest,
Parting word you never say.
I put I put your world
Into my reins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains.

Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?

Amen omen,can i find the strength within

4. She's Only Happy In The Sun
I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed, Indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life, of your life
Is hello, goodbye

Shes only happy in the sun
Shes only happy in the sun
