Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

Diamonds and Rust
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
but that's not unusual
it's just that the moon is full
and you decided to come
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
and then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it
you were so good with words
and at keeping things paid
cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly
yes, I love you dearly
and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust

Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend
(leo robin/jule styne)
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girls best friend
A kiss may be grand but it wont pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
We all lose our charm in the end
But square cut or pear shape
These rocks dont lose their shape
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girls best friend
Lets rock
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Diamonds are a girls best friend
There may come a time when a hardboiled employer
Thinks youre awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice
Hes your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
Its then that those spouses
And diamonds are a girls best friend
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Yeah diamonds are a girls best friend
Lets rock again
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Diamonds are a girls best friend

One’s value
Diamonds are of no value
If they aren’t known as diamonds.
White stones are of value
If they are taken as diamonds.

Diamonds Are 4 Eva
Diamonds are 4 ever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
The wont leave in the night, Ive no fear that they might desert me...
Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it
Touch it stroke it and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart
To hurt me
I dont need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when loves gone, they luster on
they luster on...
Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger
Unlike girls the diamonds linger
Girls are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I dont need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when loves gone, they luster on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever
And ever...

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes
(a-wa) o kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) amanto mbazane ayeza
Shes a rich girl
She dont try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Hes a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say shes crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well thats one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said youve taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What Im talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say Im crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well thats one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

Girls Best Friend
diamonds a girls best friend
so they say
they sparkle, shine in lights
of many shades
they smile and say
you know you want me
these diamonds
a girls best friend
or her own worse enemy
as they whisper words
of love
to show to others and get
mad if not considered big
enough
these diamonds to grace
a neck, a finger, a anklet
on there best friend
said to outlast love it, s self
always there when you need
a friend
these diamonds you adore
a girls best friend

Diamonds
diamonds in her hair
diamonds fill her eyes
diamonds from her rough
to sympathize
shine on through my days
shine on to my life
shine an open sky
til all seems right
it's good enough for me
i take my solace everywhere i go
everyting i need is on my back
only you believe that your belief is all i seek and
anything we need is with us now
shine on everywhere
shine on, just don't you care
shine on as you go
shine on
flying through the air
lightning in the sky
flying makes me smile and feel alive
diamonds from her mouth
diamonds in her palms
diamonds from her earth to keep me warm
it's good enough for me
i take my solace everywhere i go
everything i need is on my back
if only you believe that your belief is all i seek and
anything we need is with us now
shine on
the whos and blues and flys remain
as jack knows jill to set a stage
so pause and draw my jar gaze
to face no cause and damn debate
a wise and cries up all disgrace
i'll hit this rhyme and tear a page
shine on everywhere
shine on just don't you care
grab a hold don't let go
cause this ride doesn't stop for anyone

Diamonds
Oh getaway and dont come back
Who do you think youre fooling with lies like that?
You have dreams that set the rain on fire
Burning with a cheap desire
And its plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
My love, she dont need diamonds
My loves more than a sweet dream
And she dont need diamonds
She shakes her hip to the tambourine
And she dont need diamonds
If you cant love me for nothing
They you cant love me at all
And its plain as grey that what you say
Have meanings of their own
We all got to dance, take a chance?
But babe you should have stayed at home
My love, my love, she dont need diamonds

Diamond Ass
Asylum erotica. Yea I said the ones on the wheels.
Doomsday machinist. Flying out the window.
She's looking strange.
Nowhere to nowhere diamonds she's got what it takes diamonds forever.
You'd be surprised. Come on baby get it in gear.
Stone-face and rawmeat. Nowhere to nowhere diamonds.
Projected from above. A dead astronaunt returns. Buried in 69.
Brain is all crystalized more horrible than before, parasite sucking style.
Hey, yea man it's out of sight. Anti-christ service.
Hey, yea man it's out of sight.

Pink Diamond Princess
Out of all the precious stones
This lovely stone is the one I cherish
It's like the beauty of a pink rose
The one that's to lovely to perish
I'm the diamond in the dirt
And I have been found
I'm the ghetto gangsta queen
And I have been crowned
Like Trina, she's the diamond princess
And me, I'm the pink diamond princess
Diamonds a like wisdom in my hair
Pink diamonds are pure precious and most rare
Diamonds are a girls' best friend
But pink diamonds is my best friend till the very end.

Not you at all
Everyone has deep issues, which are really diamonds most do not know how to mine their diamonds. Most deny their diamonds, or keep them buried, mine them, your issues are your tools and skills, which save others. They are you but not you at all, your mistakes, sorrows, and pain, intersecting with humanities crudeness, ignorance, greed, and selfishness, if you come to light here some, through this forest of plastic, video, soundbites, pretense, hate and ignorance, you will come through, shine forth anywhere in this, all universes, creations.

Four Little Diamonds
I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said shed rather die than ever leave me
Well I never saw her face since then
And if the law dont get her then I will-
Four little diamonds
She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was a lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law dont get her then I will
Four little diamonds
Chorus: I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things wed done
But where could she run- she ran away
Theres just no answer to give
I keep wonderin about her, day and night
She probably thinks I was a fool- shes right
She dont know it
But Im gonna keep on searchin for that woman
Im gonna search everywhere
And if the law dont get her then I will
Four little diamonds
Chorus
I still hear her callin out to me,
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
cause if the law dont get her then I will -
Four little diamonds

SonnetX
In my Democracy a diamond's the same as an agate
So long as you section it, buff it, wet it
You'll be amazed at the light that pierces through it
As long as you never actually have to view it.
Why would any one venture to pay retail
While these little gems are everywhere for sale?
Love tropes, they say, before diamonds, were garnets
Purple and costly red as wine and blood
Why should diamonds not concede to agates
Which not infrequently have spots of red
Amid the green and brown and yellow-gray?
If I can get some funding, I will say
Agates are the new diamonds-and with this market plan
I shall die a very wealthy man.
