“A lot of people have in fact asked about this song, seems to be popular?
Anyway, the lyrics is about your own responsibility of your happiness.
Like doing what ever you can to be the best person possible, not blaming others
for defeats. Something like that.” – Magnus Sveningsson
[Verse 1]
Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mom
For all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's not guilty
You came out a little faulty
And the factory closed
So you can't hold them liable
[Pre-Chorus]
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubbery knife
[Verse 2]
Your autograph's worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes that lack of love left
Some hair from a horse
But none of it is yours, man
[Pre-Chorus]
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubbery knife
[Chorus]
And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter
[Bridge]
Read me your tombstone
Tell me you're sorry
Fax me your will
You owe me something still
Blood is like water
The bath that you poured me
Has drained and it's gone
Don't blame it on your son
[Chorus]
And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them, boy
The world is full of diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter
