Ugly Diamonds from Homework by Hereward Kaye

Look at us baby, always on guard
Grown too quickly, grown up too hard
Can’t hide in our own back yard
What ugly diamonds we are

The gift of wonder, when we arrive
We squander just to survive
Ruined beauty, but at least we’re alive
What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are

Under a bridge where the stray dogs howl
Curb crawlers, police on the prowl
Innocence with a tender scowl
What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are

(Solo)

We are indestructible
Climbing, racing to the heavens
A handful of gold dust in the ghetto
We are my friends, We are my friends
Whoah oh oh ay ay, Whoah oh oh ay ay

Bright diamonds instead of stone
Empty cage now the birds have flown
Try and find us, address unknown

What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are
What ugly diamonds we are

What ugly diamonds we are
