about
This song was composed and performed in 1997. Unfortunately the original recording was never completed so we've used the opportunity of this album release to finally bring it to life.
lyrics
There is a painting on my wall
It's got yellow shapes and
curves to make it look nice
People say that the like it
But I'm sure that I like it more
Feeling an ache in my shoulder blade
When will you come home to
Rub it until tomorrow
Caught in the path of a hurricane
Will it sweep me away from here to another
There is a carpet on my floor
Yellow paisley swirls and burgundy feathers
The room catches the sunshine
My skin turns orange and gold
Sitting alone in my special place
I am surrounded by artistic endeavours
I'm caught in the wake of a hurricane
Did it sweep me away from here
Art imitates life
Or is it the other way around
I don't know
Come to my bleeding heart
Don't fear my
Art
There is a painting on my wall
It's got yellow shapes and curves to make it look nice
People say that they like it
But I'm sure I like it more

Expect to hear a 70's action TV vibe with echoes of Frank Zappa, Manu Dibango and The L.A. Express; whatever was fed into their young malleable kindergarten brains.
