Diamond Smiles by The Boomtown Rats (The Fine Art Of Surfacing 1979) [Intro] | | | [Verse] Traffic’s wild tonight Diamond smiles her cocktail smile Tonight she’s in heavy disguise She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time [Verse] Weather’s mild tonight She wonders will they notice her eyes She wonders will her glamour survive And can they see she’s going down a third time [Verse] Oh everybody tries It’s Dale Carnegie gone wild But Barbara Cartland’s child Long ago perfected the motionless glide [Verse] And in the low voltage noise Diamond seems so sure and so poised She shimmers for the bright young boys And says ’love is for others but me it destroys’ [Verse] The girl in the cake Jumped out too soon by mistake Somebody said the whole things half baked And Diamond lifts her glass and says ’Cheers’ She stands to one side There’s no more to this than meets the eye Everybody drinks Martini dry And talks about clothes and the latest styles [Chorus] Oh oh they said she did it with grace They said she did it with style They said she did it all They said before she died Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa I remember Diamond’s smile (Drum Fill) | | | [Verse] Nobody saw her go They said they should have noticed ’cause her dress was cut so low Well it only goes to show Ha ha how many real men any of us know [Verse] She went up the stairs Stood upon the vanity chair Tied her lamé belt around the chandelier And went out kicking at the perfumed air [Chorus] Oh oh oh they said she did it with grace They said she did it with style They said she did it all They said before she died Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa I remember Diamond’s smile [Outro] Na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na (repeat to fade)

La chanson évoque une femme, à la fois glamour et fragile, qui se trouve dans une soirée animée. Elle porte un sourire charmeur et dissimule ses véritables sentiments derrière une façade séduisante. Tout en se demandant si son éclat sera remarqué et si l’amour lui fera du bien, elle semble naviguer entre l'illusion et la réalité, confrontée à la superficialité du monde qui l’entoure. Le récit dévoile une sorte de désespoir caché, où, malgré les apparences et les compliments, la protagoniste se sent de plus en plus isolée. Vers la fin, un événement tragique se produit, soulignant la profondeur de sa détresse. C’est un tableau des luttes d'une vie moderne, entre l’apparence et la véritable essence de soi.
