She Is a Diamond

She Is a Diamond - Jonathan Pryce

But on the other hand she's all they have

She's a diamond in their dull gray lives

And that's the hardest kind of stone

It usually survives

And when you think about it

Can you recall

The last time they loved anyone at all

She's not a bauble you can brush aside

She's been out-doing

What we just talked about example

Gave us back our businesses

Got the English out

And when you think about it

Well why not do

One or two of the things

We promised to

But on the other hand

She's slowing down

She's lost a little of that magic drive

But I would not advise

Those critics present to derive

Any satisfaction from her fading star

She's the one who's kept us where we are

She's the one who's kept you where you are
