Tony Banks – Diamonds Aren't So Hard Lyrics

(And diamonds aren't so hard to find)

Don't let it bring you down
Your woman's gone and left you
The taxman's here he's knocking on your door - oh

Don't let it bring you down
Your brand new house is burning
They're dumping toxic waste in your backyard - oh
Your next door neighbour's gone and won the pools
The life's so bad you wish that it was all over - over

You and I
Could leave this all behind
Dream a little
Leave ourselves behind

Come with me
Where dragons rule the air
And diamonds aren't so hard to find
And come what may
Heroes never fail
And time stands still
No matter if you're young or old

Don't let it bring you down
Nothing lasts for ever
Even female movie stars grow old - oh

We try to break the rules and never age
We try so hard but everything's in vain
Then one day you wake and find that it's all over - over

You and I
Could leave this all behind
Dream a little
Leave ourselves behind

Come with me
Where dragons rule the air
And diamonds aren't so hard to find
And come what may
Heroes never fail
And time stands still
No matter if you're young or old

So come with me
Where dragons rule the air
And diamonds aren't so hard to find...
