The Family Jewels Lyrics

[00:04.29] I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool?
[00:12.73] Fallin' down like dominoes, hit by family jewels
[00:21.42] Pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end
[00:30.07] 'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end?
[00:38.52] Ooh, don't you find it strange?
[00:42.83] Only thing we share is one last name
[00:47.34] Did I beat you at your own game?
[00:51.33] Typical of me to put us all to shame
[00:55.59] Welcome to the family jewels
[01:00.09] Coal to diamond, sold to fools
[01:04.30] Welcome to the family jewels
[01:08.56] Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
[01:13.06] I can't keep my cool
[01:17.33] I can't keep my cool
[01:21.35] Family said that I decided to live a loveless life
[01:29.94] Is it my fault we stay divided? 'Cause I got too much pride
[01:38.52] Pass the parcel, wrap, unwrap, and open up the locks
[01:47.17] Out come flying all the secrets of Pandora's box
[01:55.58] Oh, you think I'm unfit
[01:59.80] Little did you know that I was cut for it
[02:04.34] No glass slipper will ever fit
[02:08.20] 'Cause I could never see a diamond in it
[02:12.68] Welcome to the family jewels
[02:16.96] Coal to diamond, sold to fools
[02:21.57] Welcome to the family jewels
[02:25.57] Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
[02:30.13] I can't keep my cool
[02:34.31] I can't keep my cool
[02:37.93] And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
[02:46.40] And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay
[02:54.92] And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
[03:03.33] And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay
[03:14.24] Welcome to the family jewels
[03:18.54] Coal to diamond, sold to fools
[03:23.01] Welcome to the family jewels
[03:27.36] Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
[03:31.48] Welcome to the family jewels
[03:35.56] Coal to diamond, sold to fools
[03:40.19] Welcome to the family jewels
[03:44.17] Simmerin' sapphire can't keep his cool
[03:48.65] I can't keep my cool
[03:53.08] I can't keep my cool
[03:55.26]
