The Artist

Peter Sarstedt
People said it was a piece of art
It's got shape
And it's got form
And the artist stood around and smiled
I painted that
Standing on my head
So you have to stand upon your heads
Then you get
The full benefit
And the people stood upon their heads
Yes, I see!
They all said
I saw a movie that lasted for days
I told my mother and she was amazed
What is happening
What the hell is wrong
Where's the sense?
There isn't any
I support the hungry, helpless souls
With a Brillo pad
Five feet high
And don't you see just what it is I am
Anti-world and anti-life
'Cause it doesn't matter what is what
Or who is who
It's all crazy
I saw a movie that lasted for days
I told my mother and she was amazed
People said it was a piece of art
It's got shape
And it's got form
And the artist stood around and smiled
I painted that
Standing on my head
