I saw a hundred men laughing only two understanding
A wheel that was spinning for good and for evil
There was a church bell ringing but nobody listening
Except the beggars in the doorways of designer perfection
There was a thin man collecting for a government problem
He spent a long time waiting with that look of disapproval
There was icicles forming in the agency windows but nothing for sale there
Only dreamtime oblivion
Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens
Ah - The mysery well it brings you down like a recurring dream
Ah - here on the diamond avenue (on the diamond avenue)
And there`s a tightrop marriage between the doctor and the junkie
In daylight it`s perfect but at night time it`s frightening
The hospital was moved so the hotel could profit
But nobody stayed up there to curse it or to mock it
As hi-fi condition arranged for my transport
But there`s nothing to hear except the sound of bloody progress
The buildings are blushing from the interest they`re earning
But the tables and the chairs on the bombsites are burning
Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens
Ah - The mysery well it brings you down like a recurring dream
Ah - here on the diamond avenue (on the diamond avenue)
Let`s have a look, what do you see
I saw Thatcher and Murdoch those twins of confusing
Pay Saatchi and Saatchi to keep up their little illusion
I saw pepsi and my hero both digging a goldmine
It`s funny how money can make you deaf as well as blind
Ah - the mysteries that are discussed in the beds of the kings and queens
Ah. The misery well it brings you down in a recurring dream
Here on the diamond avenue
Here on the diamond avenue
Here on the diamond avenue
