The Family Jewels

I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool? Falling down like dominoes, hit by family jewels Pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end 'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end? Ooh, 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 diamond, sold to fools Welcome to the family jewels Simmerin' sapphire 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 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 diamond, sold to fools Welcome to the family jewels Simmerin' sapphire 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 diamond, sold to fools Welcome to the family jewels Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool Welcome to the family jewels Coal to diamond, sold to fools Welcome to the family jewels Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool I can't keep my cool I can't keep my cool --- The Family Jewels - MARINA
