“Diamond Dave” — A Song/Video Ode to David Lee Roth

by VHND — updated July 27, 2014 53 Comments

The Bird and The Bee‘s singer, Inara George, not only has a beautiful voice, but also a great taste in rock ‘n’ roll front men. “Diamond Dave” is a love song she wrote to David Lee Roth, which is on the band’s new album, Ray Guns Are Not the Future.

Lyrics: “Diamond Dave”

When I was a child you captured my devotion
I spent so many hours exploring mixed emotions
All of the ways you spoke to me
All of the things you provoked in me
I’ll always love youChorus
Diamond Dave, no one can hold a candle
Nothing else is quite the same
Pretty Dave, I’ll always remember
I still carry such a flame

When you left the band I couldn’t understand it
But I’ve forgiven you, now that you’ve re-committed
All of the time you spent away from me
All of the missed opportunity
I’ll always love you

Chorus
Diamond Dave, no one can hold a candle
Nothing else is quite the same
Pretty Dave, I’ll always remember
I still carry such a flame

(Come on Dave, show me what you got
I can take it)

I’ll always love you

Chorus
Diamond Dave, no one can hold a candle
Nothing else is quite the same
Pretty Dave, I’ll always remember
I still carry such a flame
