Christine Sparks - Diamond On Your Back Lyrics

For there is to be nae sleep my lad
Naw, there is to be nae sleep
Jist the auld "tick tock" o' the fekkin' clock
Aye, there is to be nae sleep

And there isnae ony path, ma' boy
Naw, there isnae ony path
Jist the broken sticks of your auld life's tricks
Naw, there isnae ony path

Sae its twinkle twinkle, black as coal
It's a lang way there n' back
Pack yer mother's grace and yer young boy's face
And pit a diamond oan yer back, my lad
Pit a diamond oan yer back

It's the night shift till yer done, my lad
It's the night shift till yer done
Sae jist pit it thro'
Mak' anither brew
It's the night shift till yer done

But there's mettle in yer blood, ma' boy
Aye there's mettle in yer blood
Frae the shit and stour graws the Lotus flo'oer
Aye, there's mettle in yer blood

Sae its twinkle twinkle, black as coal
It's a lang way there n' back
Pack yer mother's grace and yer young boy's face
And pit a diamond oan yer back, my lad
Pit a diamond oan yer back


And it's there ye'll meet yersel' ma' lad
Aye, it's there ye'll meet yersel'
And mibbes ye'll see, you're a lot like me
Aye, it's there ye'll meet yersel'

You're a jewel in my sky, my lad
Just a jewel in my sky
A wee soul divine frae a nursery rhyme
You're a jewel in my sky


Sae its twinkle twinkle, black as coal
It's a lang way there n' back
Pack yer mother's grace and yer young boy's face
And pit a diamond oan yer back, my lad
Pit a diamond oan yer back
