Fairport Convention - Diamonds And Gold Lyrics
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
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
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 gold

Max are you on Facebook? Thanks Keith
Quite a juxtaposition with those lyrics and that soft musical approach.
I really loved this song a lot. Is there anyway you could possibly upload more from this album? I noticed that Simon Nicol's voice has a similar sound/style to that of Ralph McTell's.
The great SIMON NICOL.
