The Cardigans - Don't Blame Your Daughter (diamonds) lyrics

Don't blame your daughter, that's just sentimental

And don't blame your mum for all that you've done wrong.

Your dad 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 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 that lack of love left

Some hair from a horse, but none of it is yours, man.

You come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubber 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, but don't blame your daughter.
