[Spoken Intro: Bertie McIntosh]
Piss off!
I'm trying to work here
Hmm...
Maybe we need a bit more... shadow in the clouds. A bit more blue on the left hand side
I said... piss off
[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
Watching the painter painting
And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting
[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
That bit there
It was an accident
But he's so pleased
Its the best mistake he could make
And its my favorite piece, it's just great
[Verse 3: Kate Bush]
The flick of a wrist twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin
With a kiss in a tryst
It's just a smudge
But what it becomes in his hands
[Bridge: All, Kate Bush, Chorus]
Curving and sweeping
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling
Watching the painter painting
And lines like these have got to be
An architect's dream
[Verse 4: Kate Bush, Chorus]
It's always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
Watching the painter painting
It starts to rain
And all the time the light is changing
Piss off!
