MARINA The Family Jewels

I can't break the cycle

Am I just a fool?

Falling down like dominos

Hit by family jewels

 

Pass it down from kid to kid

The chain will never end

Unless I decide to go to it

Will I see the end?

 

Oh, 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

 

Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool

 

Family said that I decided

To live a loveless life

Is it my fault we stay divided

'Cause I've got too much pride

Pass the parcel, wrap unwrap

And open up the locks

Out come flying all the secrets

Of Pandora's Box

 

Oh you think I'm unfit

Little did you know that I was cut for it

No glass slipper will ever fit

'Cause I could never see a diamond in it

 

Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool

 

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

 

Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

 

Welcome to the family jewels

Coal to diamonds, sold to fools

Welcome to the family jewels

Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool

 

I can't keep my cool

I can't keep my cool
