Oh, you're not allowed to cry Wipe those tears from your eyes There's still business to be done Your songs can't keep going unsung Hike your dress up a little more Fix your hair, and lock the door Tell them what they want to hear Give yourself away, my dear, Put the smile back on Do your dance, lights off Make him sweat a little more Get a little rough, drag it on When he screams, don’t bite Just love him with all your might Then throw him to the ground Lady of the night Yeah she’s a lady of the night She’s a lady She’s a lady of the night

She ain’t pretty She paints her face to hide the dirt With just one look She’s got the glass starting to curve She’ll lean on you Drive you straight into the wall She’ll bend and twist Make you wish you were in hell She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no She’ll burn you down Watch the flames grow miles high She’ll melt you, hunny Look in her eyes and you’ll go wild You hear the sound of her voice? Rip it out cause it’s obscene She’ll make you cry Just one touch, you’ll never leave She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no She ain’t pretty with the way that she lies She ain’t pretty with the way that she smiles She ain’t pretty when you close your eyes She ain’t pretty, don’t be fooled by no disguise She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no She ain’t pretty, she ain’t, no

You think you’re a machine You go tick-tock as I dream You don’t stop, no you don’t breathe You smoke your cigarettes Like a queen would drink her tea Your perfection’s killing me You’re cold as stone So straight, you’re gonna be alone Just like a carousel You spin round till you can’t see I try to help, but there’s no key You’ve turned into my fear There’s no smile on your face It’s been cut, it’s been erased You’re cold as stone So straight, you’re gonna be alone You think you’re, You think you’re a machine (x4) I’m not a machine (x4)

Monopoly 02:56
We follow down the brick road Yeah we all do what we’re told In the end it’s just a game They break us down, they watch us scream When we’ve run dry they will take more No they don’t care, we’re just their toys Power is all that they need To run this monopoly So what are you gonna be? The Joker or the Queen Don’t say, you agree With this insanity This is a monopoly You close your eyes and off they go Taking what’s mine and what is yours But do they really believe That I can’t see through this scheme Someday we’ll turn this all around Make them pay us for what they’ve drowned As long as we all agree This world’s a monopoly So what are you gonna be? The Joker or the Queen Don’t say, you agree With this insanity This is a monopoly So what are you gonna be? The Joker or the Queen Don’t say, you agree With this insanity This is a monopoly

White Lies 03:57
There’s boxes and boxes full of little white lies Tucked away in your closet, baby don’t bring them out tonight You’ve been testing me, testing me, testing my strength I only got time for the truth, make this easy on me I don’t think you realize what’s been going on I’ve been sweating through my pores, just trying to push this along I’ve been giving and giving and giving, and all you do is take I don’t even want to think that loving you was a mistake I still crave the smell of your cigarretes I don’t want to end any of this But I can’t move on if you don’t see Everything I do, oh boy I do it for you I just need a little more, I don’t like being this poor I won’t be one of your possessions I’m sick and tired of asking question My bones are pleading for some relief She What you’re doing to me I feel like I’ve gotta scream in your face To get from you what I need, I’ve gotta yell for just a taste There’s no reason for me to have the be this cold All these excuses you’re giving me are getting old I still crave the smell of your cigarretes I don’t want to end any of this But I can’t move on if you don’t see Everything I do, oh boy I do it for you I just need a little more, I don’t like being this poor I won’t be one of your possessions I’m sick and tired of asking question My bones are pleading for some relief She What you’re doing to me Everything I do Everything I do Its what your doing to me

Wake up up up You’re still asleep baby Don’t you see see see What’s this world’s hiding? You’ve been told how to walk How to talk and breathe But don’t think that’s the way It’s supposed to be Baby don’t be nice Breathe it in till tears run down your face Drink it up, see the mess that it makes Take whatever you can get from this life Baby don’t be nice They say we’re going down down down With every step we take So lets get high, high, high And let our minds erase Play with knives, throw ‘em round Hang them by a thread Make it count, when you kill Or we’ll all be dead Chorus

Twisted 03:10
You abused me, like no one else I dreamt of you chasing me, felt sorry for myself Now I see why I was blind You were pushing me, pushing me, and covering my eyes You manipulated, stabbed me in the back No they couldn’t see through you, not through your mask All the gypsies and the thieves Tell stories about you till your mouth bleeds You had diamonds in your pockets You had blood on your hands Twisted, with your words You learn from the devil and pretend it doesn’t hurt Twisted I can see the Devil coming for you He likes everything you do I can see your bones Your name carved in stone Chorus
8.
Crack 03:13
It ain’t easy It ain’t black and white I’m always moving too fast Can’t even see where I’m at I know you don’t understand Why can’t I just play pretend You haven’t lived with this madness... Yeah I’m gonna I’m gonna Crack There won’t be no goin back And there ain’t nothin’ you can do I’m gonna split right in two I can feel it Like an extra layer of skin Tightening my existence Yeah it just wants me to give in And it makes me sick So tired of this shit I’m only holding on for you, there, honey… Yeah I’m gonna Chorus I know you think I’m crazy I should be locked underground Just tear my thoughts out first Don’t leave me with those scars abound One day you might see why I have to cry myself to sleep It’s an addiction but there ain’t no help for what I see Chorus
9.
Disease 02:40
Pull my strings tight, put my head on right Make me smile, make me dance, till I start to decay now Pave the way for catastrophe, make me believe Your life is the one that I want now Put your thoughts right in my head, They’re full of dirt tell them I’ve gone insane now Read me those tales of the castle and the king, Does he feel any better? He’s got gold at his feet now Don’t give me your disease If I give in, you’ll watch me bleed Don’t give me your disease Those fingerprints weren’t meant for me Feed me your lies, tell me you’re happy Make me forget why I don’t want to be you know You’ve got your money and your high class looks But you can’t understand why they’re following me now Chorus
10.
A young girl came to me in my dreams She says they’ve got secrets, secrets that they keep A long way deep beneath the ground Oh, never to be found I was walking barefoot in the grass I heard a scream, a whisper and a laugh I wasn’t sure if I should stop in my tracks Or turn and run, and never look back They’ve got secrets, I can feel it in the wind But there’s not much I can say without digging myself a grave So I just watch the ghosts as they pass Hoping one day they won’t be staring back The shadows fell like the fourth of July There was a flash of light, oh they lit up the sky Little did I know, mother was sharping those knives I started to run but something made me stay Oh I wish how I had gone on my way Chorus

about

Bloody Diamonds Toronto, Ontario

Bloody Diamonds play rock n' roll. Soulful, powerful vocals and dirty riffs make their hard-hitting live show a bewitching act to behold. Somewhere between Black Sabbath, Jack White and Patti Smith lays this Toronto-based four-piece, with a vocalist who is one minute soft and sweet - then foaming at the mouth. ... more
