The Very Best of Neil Diamond by Super Furry Animals
Performed by
Super Furry AnimalsThe Very Best of Neil Diamond Lyrics
Just the very thought, trust but verify
The very best of Neil Diamond
Sings as the bombs rain down from the crystal sky
The very best of Neil Diamond
Radio cassette plays on as the kitchen crushed
Just the very thought, trust but verify
The very best of Neil Diamond
Hear its cry come through concrete rubble mound
Bodies and craters strewn all around
Still the cassette plays on, oh Sweet Caroline
Comedy killer, follow the leader
Tragedy bringer, violent thriller
Just the very thought, trust but verify, just to terrify
What's an empty thought but a lullaby?
Just the very thought
Just to terrify
Corpse identified
Back to lullaby
Trust but verify
Just to terrify
Corpse identified
Back to lullaby
