lyrics
I met you walking down the street
Where I was you and you were me
You said you’d maybe like to see me ‘round
And break new ground
You said your sister is an artiste
With colours set to start a trend
Her canvas seemed to start out black
With brushstrokes red
----------------------------
Don’t think you know
Nothing’s better than it ever was before
Don’t think you know
Nothing’s better than it ever was before
-------------------------
She went out once to buy some thread
To tie up all her loose ends
Her use of yellow was said to have a sense
Of Monet’s dread
She has exhibits ‘round the world
Entitled ‘Green’ with scenes of trees
She told a critic that her medium was brown
But we see blue
---------------------------
---------------------------
She has a complex sense of light
She shadows different shades of white
She did a detail piece of Van Gough’s Starry Night
And painted red
She once started quite a scene
The suited man with apple green
But the apple now is coloured differently
A dark maroon [Davie’s rendition: ‘burgundy’]
---------------------------
---------------------------
I said again, ‘I’ll see you ‘round’
When you asked, ‘what happens next?’
As you walked away I glanced down at your shoes
They’re platform red
And you smiled back sweet and said,
‘Yes, blue really is my scene’
And the answer became clear –
Well, clear to me..
