lyrics

DIAMONDS OF THE MIND
(April 1976)

A funny place for singing
The Western World has passed on thinking.
And no one’s into caring
Wall Street’s stocked with shares not sharing.

Diamonds Of The Mind
Giving is the first sign of finding
Diamonds of the Mind. Take your time...

I have no need for jewelry
I don’t know what I’d do with rubies.
And money… it’s for madmen
Madmen marching to a sad end.

Diamonds Of The Mind
Giving is the first sign of finding
Diamonds of the Mind. Take your time...

Go slow… Sit back, unwind… Rebuild and redefine.
But search and you will find... Diamonds Of The Mind.

Our ethics are outdated
Our existence has become X-rated.
And the happy, hiding Hatter
Sadly smiles…he knows who’s madder.
Oh, please I beg your pardon
Here’s the way to weed your garden…

Diamonds Of The Mind
Giving is the first sign of finding
Diamonds of the Mind. Take your time...

Go slow… Sit back, unwind… Rebuild and redefine.
But search and you’re sure to find... Diamonds of…
Diamonds of… Diamonds of your mind.
