Rough Diamond Songtext
von Cockney Rejects

Looking out of the window
These dark nights,
So many things, i can′t forget
See a guiding light,
Over the horizon
I tell 'em dead, i ain′t finished yet

Did you ever get lonely?
Did you ever take care?
Well it ain't you only
Crying out in despair

Gotta take your chances
Rough diamond
You gotta keep yourself alive
Take your chances
Rough diamond
Cos you paid your debts
And told no lies


It's no good dreaming
If what you want is out of reach
So i′m gonna go out and get it
Emotional blues, i′m here for the use
Life's a gamble, and don′t forget it

Did you ever get lonely?
Did you ever take care?
Well it ain't you only
Crying out in despair

Take your chances
Rough diamond
Got to keep yourself alive
Take your chances
Rough diamond
Cos you paid your debts
And told no lies

Did you ever get lonely?
Did you ever take care?
Well it aint you only
Crying out in despair


Take your chances
Rough diamond
You gotta keep yourself alive
Tale your chances
Rough diamond
Cos you paid your debts
And told no lies
