He'd Be A Diamond Lyrics - Teenage Fanclub

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
