Diamond Smiles
(专辑: The Fine Art Of Surfacing - 1979)
Traffic's wild tonight Diamond smiles her cocktail smile. Tonight she's in heavy disquise. She looks at her wrist to clock the
passing time. Weather's mild tonight She wonders do they notice her eyes, She wonders will her glamour survive, And can they see she's going down a
third time. Everybody tries, It's Dale Carnegie gone wild, But Barbara Cartland's child Long ago perfected the
motionless glide. In the
low voltage noise, Diamond seems so sure and so poised She shimmers for the
bright young boys, And laugh's "Love is for others, but me it destroys" The
girl in the
cake Jumped out too soon by mistake, Somebody said the
whole thing's half baked And Diamond lifts her glass and says "cheers" She stands to the
side There's no more to this than meets the
eye, Everybody drinks Martini dry, And talks about clothes and the
latest styles. They said she did it With grace. They said she did it With style. They said she did it all Before she died Oh No I
remember Diamond's smile Nobody saw her go, They said they should have noticed 'cos her dress was cut so low. Well it only goes to show Ha, ha, how many real men any of us know. She went up the
stairs, Stood up on the
vanity chair, Tied her lame belt around the
chandelier, And went out kicking at the
perfumed air. They said she did it With grace. They said she did it With style. They said she did it all Before she died Oh No I
remember Diamond's smile
