lyrics

Can anybody find Mr. Diamond?
It’s always fun when he comes out for a drink.
I’m in need of his light-hearted company,
he’ll make you laugh when you don’t wanna think.

Can anybody find Mr. Diamond?
I heard he went abroad for a year or two, I know,
(from the Alps to the white sands of Corsica)
but I swear that he came back awhile ago.

Maybe he’s waiting for a private invitation?
Maybe he’s just not big on goodbyes?
I won’t mind if he doesn’t remember me,
someone find Mr. Diamond, please.
Someone find Mr. D!

I’ve been looking in all the wrong places,
I’ve been looking in other people’s faces.
I’m gonna have to find a little bit of shine
on the inside,
on the inside.

Has anybody seen Mr. Diamond?
I’m sure not in the mood for one of his little jokes.
I recall that the last one was dangerous,
there’s never fire but there’s always smoke.

Has anybody heard from Mr. Diamond?
I don’t know if by now I should be concerned.
He’s not known for his sensible behaviour-
he goes too far, but still he never learns.

Maybe I’d better start my own investigation?
Maybe I ought to leave him behind?
I won’t mind if he doesn’t remember me,
someone find Mr. Diamond, please.
Someone find Mr. D!

I’ve been looking in all the wrong places,
I’ve been looking in other people’s faces.
I’m gonna have to find a little bit of shine
on the inside,
on the inside.
Mr. Diamond?
