Ruff Gem Lyrics
The world beat you for the something nice
You worked hard, died poor
You mined what you died for
You can whistle my name
It's the mines, in Africa
That are to blame
You can Scoop out my brain
Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain
Held death at bay from the first day
Stayed awake, stayed awake
The rabbit was removed under the whole moon
Long bird, short road
Dig deep but don't dig too deep
When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so deadly
They want me raw but smooth like glass
They want it fast and they don't want flaws
I'm a girl's best friend
Can you cut, I can cut, 'cause I'm a rough gem
who lives in these lights in the distance?
Watered down, the rain will help you out
I had a dream, it was all a dream
But it was ruined by the sun shining through me
You worked hard, died poor
You mined what you died for
It's the mines, in Africa
That are to blame
You can Scoop out my brain
Shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain
Stayed awake, stayed awake
The rabbit was removed under the whole moon
Long bird, short road
When it's late you'll see the hole is empty and oh so deadly
They want me raw but smooth like glass
They want it fast and they don't want flaws
I'm a girl's best friend
Can you cut, I can cut, 'cause I'm a rough gem
Watered down, the rain will help you out
I had a dream, it was all a dream
But it was ruined by the sun shining through me

Much better than the Islands version. This is perhaps their best song. It is ashame they didn't last long enough to record a third album, all the new stuff sounding incredibly strong.
