Big Painting - The Times

Through the years I’ve made big paintings

Of lots of things that made us think

And millions and millions of famous people too

Dear Thelonious, Winston Churchill, Joe Orton and Georgie Best

To name but a few but of course none compare with you

Cos they all get left behind

When I have you on my mind

You mean so much to me

Far more than any gallery

Red, orange, green, blue and indigo

Are just some up the colours you wear

I follow the rainbow

Expecting to find you there

Oh oh, I’ve made a big painting

Oh oh, right across the sky

Oh oh, I’v made a big painting of you

Cos you’re the rason why I feel quite good

Come and see my masterpiece

It took a lifetime I hope you’ll like it

I’m sure you’ll think it’s nice

You made me happy you made me smile

So I took my paint box and painted across the skies

Who cares about the sight
