Don't Blame Your Daughter lyrics
The Cardigans See albums and popular songs
Don't blame your daughter
that's just sentimental
and don't blame your mom
for all that you've done wrong
Your dad is not guilty
you came out a little faulty
and the factory closed
so you can't hold them liable
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
Your autograph is worthless
so don't send me letters
and don't mail me cash
'cause your money is no good
What's left in your matress
is holes and lack of love left
some hair from a horse,
and none of it is yours, man
You come from an island,
you're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistenin' like diamonds,
go out and find' em
but don't blame your daughter
Read me your tombstone,
tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,
you owe me something still
Blood is like water
the bath that you poured me
has drained and it's gone,
don't blame it on your son
And the song you sing today
wasn't always in your head,
the words you tryin' to say
are the ones you shouldn't 've said
they're glistening like diamonds,
go out and find'em
The world is full of diamonds
go out and find'em
but don't blame your daughter

AMAZING LYRICS..... GOT THE CD
SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED (I AGREE)
*****blame your son instead
dont have any comment. instead, what do you guys think the meaning of this song? cause im not so sure. but still, its just beautiful.
This song is amazing!I'm not completely sure about it's meaning but still it's amazing!
In my opinion, the song is about taking responsibility. The person about who singer talks did them wrong some time ago. They tend to blame others for their mistakes, instead of themselves, though. The ridiculousness of this is reinforced through giving them ridiculous targets to blame. To me, main lyrics translate like "don't blame you parents, circumstances, your upbringing, oh, maybe it's your daughther's fault now, or maybe your little dog's?"
They mean there is alot of good things (diamonds) as love happiness bestfriends and much more,but when u lose this ''dimanods'' don't need to blame osmeone else for it.
for wasted time for love that u lost.
or for job u wanted os much u stied for it lal of ur life caus eur parnets told u gonna be good and u failed.
so they mean don't blame nayone cause the one who should carey all of the responsibilty is the one who does the things and takes the choice.
You.Kisses.
It's so unusually))))I like their way to creativity
I loove this song since a long time, but I just want to know is it about a man? I really want to know 'cause i'm not sure and I want to make a video with it!
oh... and I totally agree with Diego! this group should be way more popular since their songs are soo cool!
"You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
with a rubbery knife..."
Brilliant.
