When it's pop goes the weasel
|
Let go of the easel
|
You don't want
|
This rickety rackety life
|
It's seat of the trousers
|
It's all sink or swim, son
|
I'd kill to get crimson
|
On this palette knife
|
And I'd steal in a minute
|
I'm up to here in it
|
You here behaving
|
As though I'm a saint
|
Get a job with a pension
|
Don't ever mention
|
You once had a craving
|
For the brushes and paint
|
|
So go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
|
A hack writer judges
|
My swipes and my smudges
|
He doesn't like pictures
|
With blotches and blots
|
The drawing room tea set
|
Wants horses, sunsets
|
Sweet nothings -
|
The seaside with yachts
|
Here's the end of the thirties
|
No time for arties
|
Over in Poland
|
A right old to-do
|
So go join the navy
|
The air force or the army
|
They'll all be enrolling
|
Young fellows like you
|
|
So go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
|
These are not my decisions
|
Flaming visions
|
Ringing expressions
|
The clamouring voice
|
It's volcanic desire
|
The unquenchable fire
|
It isn't a question
|
Of having the choice
|
Anyway, now I'm old
|
But if you won't be told
|
If you've been created
|
To answer the call
|
All passion and lust
|
Is going to end in the dust
|
But you'll hang on some
|
Government gallery wall
|
|
You must go, forget it
|
Let it all go, let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Go, forget it
|
Let it all go, let it all go
|
Go, forget it, let it all go
|
Let it all go
|
