Well, have you heard about the painter, Vincent van Gogh Who loved colour and who let it show? And in the museum, what have we here? The most soulful painter since Jan Vermeer
And he loved, he loved life so bad His paintings had twice the colour other paintings had So bad that the world had to know He loved colour and he let it show
In the Amsterdam museum I was feeling bad Been looking for a way not to be so sad I felt the feeling from the paintings on the wall And Vincent van Gogh was with me in the hall
And he loved, he loved life that way His painting said things that paintings seldom say So bad that the world had to know He loved colour and let it show
Have you seen those last paintings by van Gogh? Did the sorrow show? Did it hurt you from the wall? Did it follow you down the hall?
Because he loved, he loved life like that You look at those last paintings and you'll get kind of sad So bad that the world had to know He loved colour and he let it show
