Diamond Cut – 1979

Diamond Cut Bonnie Tyler harmadik nagylemeze. Az 1979-ben megjelent album mérsékeltebb sikert aratott, mint elődjei, de így is felkerült több ország toplistájára. Legsikeresebb dala a My Guns Are Loaded, amely Franciaországban aranylemez lett. A lemezre felkerült egy Tom Petty feldolgozás is, a Louisiana Rain. A kiadvány csak bakelitlemezen és kazettán került forgalomba az RCA kiadó gondozásában. 1991-ben a Castle kiadó jelentette meg elsőként CD formátumban is. 2010 február 15-én a brit Cherry Music egy felújított hangzással és két bónusz dallal adta ki. Az egyik bónusz felvétel az 1979-es amerikai Married Man című film főcímdala, a másik a My Guns Are Loaded című dalának európai kislemez verziója.

01. If You Ever Need Me Again (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

Baby if you ever need me again
There's no reason why we couldn't get it better than then
I still get a feeling that we should've held on but we said goodbye
I can t get over thinking our love was too young to die
So baby if you ever need me again
You know how I feel

Baby when another morning comes through
If I find myself thinking that it might be too much to lose oh too much when
Once in everybody's lifetime they say that you'll find
Someone who you wanna cling to and you might be mine
So baby if you ever need me again
You know how I feel

02. Too Good To Last (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

You could have saved my life
You could have brought me love
You could have been so right
You fitted me like a glove

You could have been the sun
That shone on me everyday
You could have been the one
To take me away

But you were too good to last
Baby you were too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last
Oh yeah too good to last
You're too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last

03. What A Way To Treat My Heart (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

What a way to treat my heart
You picked it up you broke it in half
What a way to let me know
You took my love and you let it go
What a way to treat my heart
Ooh what a way, what a way to treat my heart

I don't know much about
My feelings without you with me
I can't tell you what it's like
To spend each night alone
Don't understand what went wrong
We should've gone on and on

What a way to treat my heart
Ooh what a way
What a way to treat my heart

Like a star in the sky
You were someone who I looked up to
My direction was clear
When you were here with me
I don't understand what went wrong
We should've gone on and on

04. The Eyes Of A Fool (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

You tell me there's nothing wrong
You say that there's nobody else
But you're looking into
The eyes of a fool

You say what you wanna say
And I'll sit here hoping it's true
But you're looking into the eyes of a fool

And when you say you really need
You know I'll come running
You know I'll come running to you

And though you can't look into my eyes
And say what you're thinking
I go on believing in you

05. Bye Bye Now My Sweet Love (Alan Traney)

There's no time now you said to be in love
Anyhow what is my life to you
Well there's no point it's true in pursuing you
And it's not that I can or I'd want to

But to be honest I'll say that there have been times
When I've desired a kiss or a smile
And once or twice you've shown the face I like
And it's affected me more than I'd want it to

But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never have the chance to share it

Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye those tears I cry
I need you only to say goodbye

And now and again when I don't feel so shy
I pretend to remember your name
When the eyes don't see the heart doesn't feel
And the distance between us remains

But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never got the chance to share it

06. Louisiana Rain (Tom Petty)

Well it was out in California
By the San Diego Sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah it nearly drove me crazy
'Cause I felt I had no choice
Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time
With all those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on a lonely street
And I still can't quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
But thank God for this long neck bottle
The angel's remedy

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

Well I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the Juke Box in some
All-Nite Beanery
Yeah he was eating hard rock candy
And chasing it with tea
You should have seem him lick his lips
When he looked up at me

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

07. Baby I Just Love You (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

Baby I just love you
Baby I just love you
When it comes right down
To what it's all about
I couldn't let you go

I don't know what's right or wrong
But in my heart's where you belong
And when the feeling's right it's right
I never felt this close before
When I'm with you I need no more
When the feeling's right it's right

Baby I just love you
Baby I just love you
It doesn't matter what I say and what I do
I still come back to you

I never felt this close before
When I'm with you I need no more
When the feeling's right it's right

08. Words Can Change Your Life (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

Words are all that we can say
They change you life or just a day
It all depends upon the say we say them
Words can sparkle like a star
In a letter from afar
It doesn't matter where you are they touch you
Words dancing in your head
Words you'd wish you'd said
When you had the chance to say them
Words whispered in the night
Makes the world seem right
When you're looking for the answers
Words when the day has gone
Sometimes linger on
And haunt you like a love song
Words, words we mean to say
Somehow slip away
Tell me why they stay behind our lips
Words can be the sweetest song
The kind that makes you sing along
When everything is going wrong around you
Words, words can change your life
Cut you like a knife
Even though he really loves you
Words when the day has gone
Sometimes linger on
And haunt you like a love song
Words, words we mean to say
Somehow slip away
Tell me why they stay behind our lips

09. My Guns Are Loaded (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have your loving arms around me
On a starry night

Oh but I got tired of dreaming
Cos dreamings nothing to do
I got tired of dreaming
About you

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights
I'm gonna love you tonight
My guns are loaded
They're pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have you lying there beside me
All through the night

10. I'm A Fool (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

Call me what you like but I'm a fool
I'm a fool - I'm a fool
Call me what you like but I'm a fool
Forever falling in love…with you

I'm a fool let me tell you
I'm a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I'm a fool let me tell you
I really didn't see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I'm a fool - a fool for you

Call it what you like but it ain't love
It ain't love - it can't be love
Call it what you like but it ain't love
Cos you don't feel the way...I do

I'm a fool let me tell you
I'm a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I'm a fool let me tell you
I really didn't see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I'm a fool - a fool for you

11. Married men (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

The world is full of married men
With wives who never understand
They’re looking for someone to share
The excitement of a love affair
Just as soon as they find you
They wine you and dine you
You fly on the wings of romance
But in the eyes of the world
You’re just another crazy girl
Who loves a married man

Oh your love is a secret
And you’ve got to keep it
As long as you can
No don’t cry for your lover
There’s always another married man
The world is full of married men

Oh yeah you make him feel so young
But his wife will still be number one
He promises to marry you
Just as soon as his divorce
Comes through
And it’s not just a fling
He swears it’s the real thing
A love that could last till the end
As he’s driving away
You know it’s true what they say
About married men

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men

Oh he’ll run when the scandal
Gets too hot to handle
He’ll say I just want to be friends
They he’ll walk out of your life
He’ll go home to his wife
‘Cause he’s a married man

Oh your love is a secret
And you’ve got to keep it
As long as you can
No don’t cry for your lover
There’s always another married man
The world is full of married men

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men

He’ll walk out of your life
And go home to his wife
A married man

Don’t cry for your lover
There’s always another married man

They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it again and again
They do it, they do it, they do it
They do it, married men....repeat and fade

12. My guns are loaded (Ronnie Scott / Steve Wolfe)

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have your loving arms around me
On a starry night

Oh but I got tired of dreaming
Cos dreaming’s nothing to do
I got tired of dreaming
About you

My guns are loaded
You’re in my sights
I’m gonna love you tonight
My guns are loaded
They’re pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have you lying there beside me
All through the night
