Family Jewels Lyrics
I can't break the cycle,
Am I just a fool?
Falling down like dominoes,
Hit by family jewels.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e83394-marina~family_jewels_lyrics.html ]
Pass it down from kid to kid,
The chain will never end.
Unless I decide to go to it.
Will I see the end?
Oh, don't you find it strange?
Only thing we share is one last name.
Did I beat you at your own game?
Typical of me to put us all to shame.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Simmer and saphire, can't keep his cool.
I can't keep my cool,
I can't keep my cool.
Family said that I decided,
To live a loveless life.
Is it my fault we stay divided,
'Cause I've got too much pride.
Pass the parcel, wrap unwrap,
And open up the locks.
Out come flying all the secrets,
Of Pandora's Box.
Oh you think I'm unfit,
Little did you know that I was cut for it.
No glass slipper will ever fit,
'Cause I could never see a diamond in it.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Simmer and saphire, can't keep his cool.
I can't keep my cool,
I can't keep my cool.
And when we're in the dark,
It echoes in your heart.
And when you're far away,
It beckons me to stay.
And when we're in the dark,
It echoes in your heart.
And when you're far away,
It beckons me to stay.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Simmer and saphire, can't keep his cool.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools.
Welcome to the family jewels,
Simmer and saphire, can't keep his cool.
I can't keep my cool,
I can't keep my cool.
