Rankin - The Family Jewels lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool? Falling down like dominoes, hit by family j**els Pa** it down from kid to kid, shame will never end 'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end? [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] Welcome to the family j**els Coal to diamond, sold to fools Welcome to the family j**els Simmering sapphire, can't keep his cool I can't keep my cool I can't keep my cool [Verse 2] Family said that I decided, to live a loveless life Is it my fault we stay divided? Cause I got too much pride Pa** the parcel, wrap, unwrap, and open up the locks Out come flying all the secrets of Pandora's box [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, you think I'm unfit Little did you know that I was cut for it No gla** slipper will ever fit Cause I could never see a diamond in it [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] (x2)
