| don't blame your daughter, that's just sentimental
and don't blame your mum for all that you've done wrong
your daddy's 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 and 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
