Almost Diamonds - Marc Almond

You kissed my grateful skin

And left a chain of bites and bruises

I’m sorry when you grin

Almost diamonds for the losers

I’ll swim inside your tears

And wander through your rooms of silence

The motive crystal clear

Your tongue is love

And your heart is violence

Almost Diamonds

Scratched perfection

Almost diamonds

Tears in glycerine

I spied you kissing her

You faked your love

My broken brother

Everybody burn

Secrets spill and smiles are smothered

You have to roll the dice

Pain is two

And fire is sixes

Vengeance feels nice

I know the shine

Behind your tricks is Almost diamonds

Scratched perfection

Almost diamonds

Tears in glycerine

Who would have thought

It would end like this

You gave a stranger

A dangerous kiss

Now your pretty eyes

Say these precious lies

We’re just beautiful imitations

They were

Almost diamonds

Scratched perfection

Almost diamonds

Tears in glycerine

Catch our teardrops

As they fall

You know we nearly

Had it all

Fallen tears of glycerine

Gone is all of what we dream

Almost diamonds

Scratched perfection

Dark reflections

Love won’t find us Only in dreams
