Beautiful dreamer lays in her bed Wonderful visions go round in her head Her father has told her the stories of old Of princes and ladies and diamonds and gold
Lets take a photograph, pictures don't lie Her long hair so golden, the blue of her eye
She taunts and she teases the boys in her school They don't understand, they don't know her rules Soon she'll be leaving to get on a train With mirror and makeup, for fortune and fame
Lets take a photograph, pictures don't lie Clutching her suitcase, she waves us goodbye
He comes from the shadows, with a gleam in his eye And a golden medallion your money can't buy He takes her to Soho and he takes her up West He fills her with lines, he's rehearsed all the best
Now I'll give you diamonds and I'll give you gold You'll live the stories your father has told So he gives her the diamonds that she sniffs from a spoon And he leaves her on satin in some darkened room
So the boys can take photographs, pictures don't lie You'll never leave here, don't even try
So she looks at the river, so deep and so cold Just one more victim of diamonds and gold Just one more victim of diamonds and gold Just one more victim of diamonds and goldTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
