Diamonds on the Inside.

This is a song that is truly memorable on the album. You could claim it from the lyrics, which really juxtapose opposing concepts together in a beautiful manner. You could claim that it comes from Ben’s singing voice, which really shines on this song. Really, it is from a memorable chorus that features a truly infectious acoustic guitar riff that really hooks you in and makes you want to pay attention to this song. At the same time, this song is much more melodic than your standard fare Ben Harper song, and it works for him real well.

Lyrics :

i knew a girl
her name was truth
she was a horrible liar

she couldn't spend
one day alone
but she couldn't be, couldn't be satisfied

when you have everything
you have everything to lose
she made herself
a bed of nails
and she's plannin' on
puttin' it to use

but she wore diamonds on the inside
she wore dia-moonds on the inside
she wore diamonds on the inside
she had diamonds

a candle throws its light into the darkness
in a nasty world, so shines a good deed
make sure the fortune, that you seek
is the fortune, that you need

so tell me why, the first to ask, is the last to give, everytime...
what you say and do not mean
you follow, you're close behind

she had diamonds on the inside
she had dia-mooonds on the insiiide
she had diamonds on the inside
she wore diaaa-moonds
she had diaaa-aaaa-moonds

like the soldier long standing under fire
any change, comes as a, relief
let the giver's name remain unspoken
she is just a generous thief

but she had diamonds on the inside
she had dia-mooonds on the inside
she wore diamonds on the inside
oh.. diiaaaa-aaa-moonds
diiii-aaa-aa-monds
she wore.. diaa--aaa-monds
