Billy Talent
Diamond On A Landmine (Live)
[Intro]
Frankfurt, it's time you dance
One, two, three, go!
Whoa-oh-ooh
Oh-hoo, oh-oh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Okey-dokey!
She slapped my face, slammed the door
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw Jon's friends and I was told
She blocked my number from her cell phone
But you said we were meant to be
This obsession is killing me
'Til I have a heart attack
I’ll keep on trying to win you back
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last, I can’t wait 'til we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance
Second chance, hold you in my arms at last
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
You better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
[Verse 2]
I’m not so sure about this word
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit but it’s no use
I’m addicted to her abuse
She’s in control of everything
I’m just a fucking puppet, she pulls my string
'Nying truth, I’ll test my fate
Keep on playing this wicked game
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last, I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance
Second chance, hold you in my a- let's go!
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
You better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
[Post-Chorus]
You better watch your step
A diamond on a landmine
You better watch your step
Diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
[Bridge]
We’re dancing on thin ice before
Frozen from the winter cold
And if it were to crack below
I’d never let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last, I can’t wait 'til we’re alone at last
'Cause all I wanted was a second chance
Second chance, hold you in my arms at last
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’ll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
You better watch your step
A diamond on a landmine
[Post-Chorus]
You better watch your step
A diamond on a landmine
You better watch your step
Diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode, ey!
[Outro]
You better watch your step
Diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
A diamond on a landmine
Better not touch that
Diamond on a landmine
Better to forget that
Diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
[Spoken]
Thank you!
So we played in Tilburg the other night, beautiful place
And I was singin', havin' fun, yeah
And I jumped up, I landed on my mic stand
And my microphone went *pow*
So if you see a big, red bruise on my face
It's because I hit myself in the face *laughs*
They were like, "we could put some make-up on ya and we c-"
I'm like, "I don't give a fuck", I hit myself
We all make mistakes, right? Except for Jon, Jon never makes mistakes
