Diamond Days

Outfield Diamond Days Lyrics
1.Take It All

J. spinks

If your hands are tied
Don't be afraid
A chance in a lifetime
Is on its way

If you're out tonight
In shoes of glass
Make it by midnight
The future might pass

(chorus)
The facts of life ain't changing
They don't care about you
The hands of time ain't waiting
They'll go on without you
Baby - take it all
Baby - take it all

For once in your life
You got it made
A sign of the times
The past is paid

So leave it behind
Don't be ashamed
Innocent girl
In a man's world

(chorus)

Get it all - do it do it


2.Eye To Eye

J. spinks ,t. lewis

(chorus)
I wanna get close
Wanna spend my time with you
We gotta sit down and talk
Got to see things eye to eye

I tried to tell her but i couldn't begin
It's not a thing that takes a moment
I'm coming over better let me come in

(chorus)

You'll understand me
A lot better when the picture's all clear
I'm yours and anyway you want me
Move over 'cos it's lonely over here

(chorus)

You've got no choice
You've got no say when it comes round
I'm gonna jump down don't walk away
We've got to see things eye to eye

There was something when i met you
There was something in the words we didn't say
It was something that we both knew
It was something that don't happen every day

(chorus)
You've got no choice
You've got no say when it comes round
I'm gonna jump down don't walk away
We've got to see things eye to eye


3.For You

J. spinks

I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - i've been missing you
Need your love - oh so bad
Realize - everything we had

(chorus)
All day - all night
You can have it anyway you want it
One love - so right
Don't you know that i live my life for you

I was wrong - my mistake
I regret - look at the price i paid
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - i'm a broken man

(chorus)
I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - i've been missing you
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - i'm a broken man

(chorus)

For you - for you
You can have it anyway you want it
For you - for you
Doesn't matter if the sun don't shine


4.John Lennon

J. spinks

A soul full of anger - but nothing to show
A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go
Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know
Don't turn around - don't turn around

Torn between lovers - both mothers as well
A mind a prison - a heart in a cell
If only the screams could be heard from this hell
Don't turn around - don't turn around

You were surprised by a girl in the sky
Who changed everyone
And as your life became so mystified
There was a lonely heart - left by the side

Tomorrow could never be just one more day
Confused by an image - refusing to stay
The child in your mind always wanted its way
Don't turn around - don't turn around

Then on a day in your life
Still remembered by everyone
There was a man with a gun at his side
You and your monkey had nowhere to hide

He was the man that was sent from the rye
Don't turn around - don't turn around

So many things on his mind
I'm not sure if he knew
Why he blew you away
I can't decide if it's true
What he thought on that day

Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when i turn out the lights
Call out my name and i'd hold you so tight
Don't turn around - don't turn around


5.Magic Seed

J. spinks

Yellowman - dealing in a back street
Sinnerman - he's telling you it's never enough
Nobody there - inside the mind he wasted

(chorus)
In a city where it's all gone wrong
Too many people and they don't belong
Suffocating on the air they breathe
Selling their souls for the magic seed

Pretty girl - standing in a doorway
At a price - offering a bed for the night
Nobody cares - a sign of the life she's wasted

(chorus)

So afraid - nowhere else to go now
Far far away - there's a place
That you once called home - but

(chorus)

Yellowman - you can't buy me
Sinnerman - pretty girl
Selling their souls for the magic seed


6.Unrespectable

J. spinks

She no lady
One bad girl
She go crazy
Private world
I can hear the people talkin'
From a million miles away
I don't care what they been thinkin'
I don't care what they say
She's unrespectable
Unrespectable

She's so easy
Got no class
Good time baby
Love don't last
I wake up in the morning
Don't believe the things i said
I never walk the streets with you girl
I wouldn't kick you outta bed
She's so unrespectable
Unrespectable
So unrespectable
Unrespectable

Sht still shake me
Night and day
Never learnt her lesson
I'm still treating her the same
Like any mona lisa
She ain't never gonna change
She's so unrespectable
Unrespectable
So unacceptable
Unrespectable


7.Burning Blue

I don't wanna have to shout while the day is long
Repeating all the things that i've said and done
Only words you know so well

And if i could explain what you want from me
Satisfy your insecurity
Something that you've failed to see

Oh my love for you - well it's still as new
And it's burning blue

I should a known better
Why can't i forget her
She's an operator

I don't wanna have to shout from a mountain top
So try to realize all the things we got
How come you don't understand

There'll never be a future we can trust
Tomorrow's all we need in front of us
One day at a time's enough

And my love for you - well it's still as new
And it's burning blue

I should a known better
Why can't i forget her
She's an operator

An' my love for you - it still feels as new
An' it's burning blue

All across the nation
Open invitation
No exaggeration
I should a known better
Why can't i forget her
She's an operator

An' my love for you - it's still burning blue


8.Raintown Boys

J. spinks

The raintown boys are leaving today
Heading on out to the shoreline
The greytown boys are tired of this place
They're not coming back anymore

They're gonna find a new life in the city
Don't wanna live in black and white
'cos nothing's gonna change the talkin's over
Too many wasted years gone by

The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure

The sadtown girls are crying inside
Thoughts are out there in the darkness
They'd given their hearts to the boys in the past
Now it's so lonely without them

It's late at night but downtown in the city
They walk the streets - the lights turn red
A broken voice in their imagination
They can't believe the things she said

I can give you more than anyone can
Perfect strangers living in a new land

The raintown boys are so far away
Been living it up on the shore
No doubt in their minds they're gonna stay
There's nothing left to go home for

They've found a better life inside this city
Their fears are gone - their fortunes changed
Just like they were made for one another
The boy's won't ever be the same

The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure

No more - no more - no more
No more - no more - no more


9.One Night In Heaven

J. spinks

I know you look real nice little girl
I better not catch a surprise little girl hey -yea
I'm taking a chance on your love
I know what's on your mind little girl
You better got nothing to hide little girl hey - yea
I'm taking a chance on your love

(chorus)
An' if it's over and done
I know i spent one night in heaven

Stimulate my mind little girl
Talk ain't gonna be cheap tonight hey - yea
I'm taking a chance on you love
You've always done me right little girl
A pack a' lies between the sheets tonight
I'm taking a chance on your love

(chorus)

Somebody's daughter - dangerous game
I'm just a late night caller

She just cost me more than all
The money in my pocket but
I don't regret a single coin i paid
It hit me with her final touch
I've never beat the moon so much
An' everything i did she did again

(chorus)
(chorus)


10.After The Storm

Open hearts
Open eyes
Open scars that are left upon
Open minds
Sacred words
Sacrificed
Storytellers exaggerate
Shallow lies

(chorus)
After the hurt has gone away
Oh' will we feel the pain
After the storm begins to turn
Oh' will we ever learn

Open doors
Open books
Tragic stories repeated still
Overlooked
Chase the wind
Catch a breath
Watch a child when it falls
Helplessness

(chorus)

It's never too late to say a prayer
It might be all we got to share
There's always a hope that someone's there

Don't confirm unless it's sure
Don't pretend to know a cure
Don't convince the world you're right
Don't deny you've never lied

(chorus)
