1st verse
Y'say you're pretty good with a paintbrush
Y'tell me that you're painting the Queen
I want you to do me a favour
Look at me and paint what you see
'Cos I want you to see myself
Standing up on the shelf

Chorus
Picture painter
Picture painter
Paint me a picture of my life
Paint me a picture of my mind
So I can tell what I'm really like
So I can tell what I'm really like

2nd verse
Now you don't need to try and impress me
'Cos I ain't got the time nor the patience
And I don't want to see a collection
Of Mona Lisa and the Renaissance
I want you to see myself
Standing up on the shelf

Repeat chorus

Picture painter, paint me a picture ..
Picture painter, paint me a picture ..
Fade
