Diamonds Lyrics
First Verse
I’ve got dandruff like diamonds as big as the Ritz
I’m getting old and weird;
It is getting late.
I’ve got dandruff like diamonds as big as the Ritz
Thank God for the internet!
Chorus:
I was lucky to be cut into a thousand pieces.
Lucky the pieces got picked up and appreciated.
Lucky that appreciation was mutually pleasing.
Lucky to be found by you instead of drowning in the sea again.
Second Verse:
I’ve got dandruff like diamonds as big as the Ritz
I’ve got wrinkles cut into my face worse than Cheese & Onion crisps
Went prematurely grey
Even worse than Andrew FCKN Gaze
Feel as old as old can be
Like a dog that’s had its day
Chorus:
I was lucky to be cut into a thousand pieces.
Lucky the pieces got picked up and appreciated.
Lucky that appreciation was mutually pleasing.
Lucky to be found by you instead of drowning in the sea again.
Outro:
Well falling in love is easier than putting a man on the moon.
But you can’t stay in either ether forever
You’ll suffocate out on them dunes.

Bird Food

When you're in the room, I feel uncomfortable.
Standing next to you, I feel uncomfortable.
Diver dressed in blue,
oh what's a boy to do;
Fish Food falls through the roof...
So much more to me and you than you and me,
got shores that slope into the sea,
dark oceans fold on them at night,
and Cuttlefish die in the bright white light.
Their bones make good Bird Food.

Hanging Around:
I’ve been hanging around with you,
hanging around it’s true,
seemed like the right thing to do,
to just hang around with you.
[Slip those seven seals to reset the sun. Now look at the good things we’ve done]
Cats chasing lasers and brunch,
Fugazi, Twin Peaks and slam dunks,
everything that makes us cum,
daydreams and dresses undone.
[Slip that seventh seal and reset the sun. Relax, the good stuff has only begun!]
Like coffee and donuts and snuff,
and love’s endless morning.
I’ve been hanging around with,
you’ve been hanging around with,
I’ve been hanging around with you.
