Harper, Ben - Diamonds On The Inside Lyrics






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

    Anyone spot the location? Hint, largest Island but smallest continent on the planet with the best pristine beaches.Great song too!

  16. J.... H....

    "He had diamonds on the inside"
    The days when I wonder why I am feeling the way I do, I see now why. I miss him everyday even on the bad days. He’s crazy sometimes, un-loving but funny too. I can see his diamonds on the inside when others have passed you by. Jahs~ ©

    I really love this song, but I hadn't seen the video before. It was a lovely surprise to see the old Holden and the Byron Bay hinterland and beach. Such a lovely spot, even though it's being over-developed...
