From the album ”Deserters” (1992. Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITdbMwr-yhw [Verse 1]
EOn a corner by the station a man is tAalking right out lEoud Trying to make a pitch, tArying to pull a cErowd People hurry past him, they wAill not give him tEime He's holding out a diamond and the pArice is just one dEime
[Verse 2]
He isn't selling Jesus, he Aisn't selling cEoke Board-boys are muttering, "Is thAis some kinda jEoke?" All these travellers, Aall this passing tEime He's holding out the diamond and the prAice is just one dEime
[Chorus]
Well, he's a crAook or he's crEazy SAo the story goEes But the dDiamond is reAal And only one man kEnows And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime? And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
[Instrumental] F#m E [Verse 3]
NEight falls on the station and Aon your heart's deEsire The diamond in the darkness, a mAessenger of fEire Don't throw that stone away, you bAetter understEand It's my whole life you're holding in the Apalm of your hEand
[Chorus]
EWell, he's a crAook or he's crEazy SAo the story goEes But the dDiamond is reAal And only one manE knows And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime? And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
[Verse 4]
ELove might be a miner dAigging in the dEark Love might be a hustler hAunting for a mEark Love might be a singer loAoking for a rhEyme Love might be priceless but the prAice is still one dEime
[Chorus]
EWell, he's a crAook or he's crEazy ASo the story gEoes But the dDiamond is reAal And only one manE knows And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime? And iDf I say I lAove you Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond, buy a dDiamond, buy a dAiamond Do you waDnt to buy a diAamond for a dEime?
