Picasso's Mandolin Lyrics
Artist: Guy Clark
Album: Boats to Build
Picasso said in 1910
I'm gonna paint me a mandolin
Could be cubes it could be curves
I like to mix the paint with nerve
I'm gonna load my brush and fire away
Paint me a hole in the light of day
Chorus
You can play it straight or play it from left field
You got to play it just the way you feel
Come on boys and play it again
Play it on Picasso's mandolin
Well it's colorin' books and drinkin' wine
ItÅ hard to stay between the lines
AinÅ no rule if you don't break it
AinÅ no chance if you don't take it
He said the damndest thing he ever heard
Was tryin' to learn to sing from a mockingbird
Chorus
Picasso said before he died
ThereÅ one more paintin' I'd like to try
The doctor held his breath and then
Picasso nailed a mandolin
HeÅ born in Spain and died in France
He was not scared of baggy pants
Chorus
