Painting By Numbers (2007 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

It's not that complicated [00:00:10]

No more than a clench of fist -[00:00:14]

She want to paint her heart out [00:00:17]

She want to tell it as she sees it is [00:00:21]

Authority condemns her [00:00:25]

They say to paint's a waste without a base [00:00:29]

Some bedrock of idea [00:00:34]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up [00:00:36]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up [00:00:42]

It's passionless bed-rest [00:00:48]

Work-body that's headless [00:00:50]

A head that's without heart -[00:00:53]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art [00:00:56]

Her constant vows mean nothing [00:01:00]

Not content alone that sells -[00:01:04]

The Market Theory beckons [00:01:08]

No-one remembers what the story tells;[00:01:11]

No-one remembers passion [00:01:15]

We just recite the line[00:01:19]

That art is fine and fashion costly [00:01:23]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up;[00:01:27]

Safety in numbers put your hands up[00:01:32]

In mute surrender [00:01:38]

They'll break her or bend her[00:01:41]

For the heart on her sleeve [00:01:44]

Painting by numbers all the modern world believes [00:01:46]

And the whole thing falls apart[00:01:53]

When the movement's more important than the art;[00:02:01]

When we're more concerned[00:02:09]

With what's been thought than said[00:02:11]

This is the moment when the culture's dead [00:02:14]

It's not that complicated [00:02:26]

It's simple as can be:[00:02:29]

She want to paint her heart out [00:02:33]

They want a programme for the BBC[00:02:37]

Where academic critics can talk of art that's fine[00:02:40]

Like holy wine - the Blessed Intellectuals [00:02:48]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up;[00:02:52]

Safety in numbers put your hands up[00:02:58]

The poets from Venus assume that they've seen us -[00:03:04]

They're quick to depart [00:03:09]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art [00:03:11]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up;[00:03:15]

Safety in numbers put your hands up[00:03:21]

It's passionless bed-rest [00:03:27]

Work-body that's headless [00:03:29]

A head that's without heart -[00:03:32]

Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art[00:03:38]
