We lost a great great man today
But outside it's just another Wednesday
I'm sick of people passing me by
How come we can't all stick around too long
And a long time for yourself
Can be a short time for everyone else
So we'll just have to wait and see
Is this feeling overdue,is it true
I can't believe it's true
Well I'm just a stupid boy
Yeah that's what he'd always say
We'd got to galleries once in a while
And stand around and look at paintings all day
There was a Mattise that I liked
There was a Turner that he loved
He had it printed and he put it in his living room
It looks great
Yeah it looked great
For goodness sake
