The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mum
For all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's 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 rubber knife
Your autograph's worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes that 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 rubber knife
And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them
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 is gone
Don't blame it on your son
And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them, boy!
The world is full of diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter
