Diamond Avenue Lyrics - Dave Stewart & The Spiritual Cowboys

I saw a hundred men laughing only two understanding 

A wheel that was spinning for good and for evil 

There was a church bell ringing but nobody listening 

Except the beggars in the doorways of designer perfection 

There was a thin man collecting for a government problem 

He spent a long time waiting with that look of disapproval 

There was icicles forming in the agency windows but nothing for sale there 

Only dreamtime oblivion 

Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens 

Ah - The mysery well it brings you down like a recurring dream 

Ah - here on the diamond avenue (on the diamond avenue) 

And there's a tightrop marriage between the doctor and the junkie 

In daylight it's perfect but at night time it's frightening 

The hospital was moved so the hotel could profit 

But nobody stayed up there to curse it or to mock it 

As hi-fi condition arranged for my transport

But there's nothing to hear except the sound of bloody progress 

The buildings are blushing from the interest they're earning 

But the tables and the chairs on the bombsites are burning 

Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens 

Ah - The mysery well it brings you down like a recurring dream 

Ah - here on the diamond avenue (on the diamond avenue) 

Let's have a look, what do you see 

I saw Thatcher and Murdoch those twins of confusing 

Pay Saatchi and Saatchi to keep up their little illusion 

I saw pepsi and my hero both digging a goldmine 

It's funny how money can make you deaf as well as blind 

Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens 

Ah. The misery well it brings you down in a recurring dream 

Here on the diamond avenue 

Here on the diamond avenue 

Here on the diamond avenue
