Fine Art from ARTISTS ONLY by Vinny Peculiar

She studied for a Fine Art Degree in a red brick University
She said Oh wow now just look at me
I was working on a building site
I’d joined a band we were doing alright
Session on the local BBC
She drew me a picture of the queen
Naked in bath for all to see
And it’s still hanging on my wall
And it remains a talking point
When my friends come over to call

She was a beautiful girl
She came from a different world
I never stood a chance
She met a Dutch photographer
And he photographed her in her underpants
She wrote to me explaining why she had to say goodbye
I found it hard to accept
But I did as I was told
I was as good as gold and I did my best to forget her

I never heard from her in a very long time
And then she appeared in a vision of mine
As real and true as I stand here before you
So I put her into this song
Now it feels like she’s been here all along
Should I try to track her down, now I’m back in the old town?
If you know who I’m talking about tell her to come by I hardly ever get out

I’d been back here for a couple of years
There was no sign of her
I was starting to think I’d made it all up
And Mr Shadrack was calling my bluff
When out of the blue I took a call
And we went to the zoo and we went to the ball
We took the bus after the wedding drove into the sunset
That was the ending
