Picture Painter

(album: For All Mankind - 1971)

Y'say you're pretty good with a paintbrush
Y'tell me that you're painting the Queen
I want you to do me a favour
Look at me and paint what you see
'Cause I want you
To see myself
Standing up
On the shelf

Picture painter
Picture painter
Paint me a picture of my life
Paint me a picture of my mind
So I can tell what I'm really like
So I can tell what I'm really like

Now you don't need to try and impress me
'Cause I ain't got the time nor the patience
And I don't want to see a collection
Of Mona Lisa and the Renaissance
I want you
To see myself
Standing up
On the shelf

Picture painter
Picture painter
Paint me a picture of my life
Paint me a picture of my mind
So I can tell what I'm really like
So I can tell what I'm really like

Picture painter, paint me a picture...
Picture painter, paint me a picture...
