Don't blame your daughter 
That's just sentimental 
And don't blame your mum 
For all that you've done wrong 
Your daddy's is not guilty 
You came out a little faulty 
And the factory closed 
So you can't hold them liable 
You come from an island 
You're cutting diamonds 
With a rubber knife 

Your autograph's is 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 and lack of love left 
Some hair from a horse 
And none of it is yours, man 
You come from an island 
You're cutting diamonds 
With a rubbery knife 

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 

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 is gone 
Don't blame it on your son 

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
