| [00:04.39] | He had a stroke at the age of 24 |
| [00:06.58] | It could have been a brilliant career |
| [00:07.83] | Painting lines in a school that was too well known |
| [00:16.00] | Painting lines with a friend that had gone before |
| [00:22.18] | She challenged everyone to a fight |
| [00:25.36] | But the people all backed down |
| [00:28.85] | And they ran her out of town |
| [00:32.43] | Cause she drank and swore and spoke |
| [00:35.98] | Out of turn she was the village joke |
| [00:44.72] | She had a stroke at the age of 24 |
| [00:48.34] | It could have been a brilliant career |
| [00:51.64] | Getting clients to finance her strategies |
| [00:58.45] | Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday |
| [01:04.69] | She wears the clothes of an emperor |
| [01:07.56] | But her paintings are a sham |
| [01:11.18] | And they're going for a grand |
| [01:14.68] | When the dealers come to view |
| [01:18.11] | Do they ever see the real you? |
| [01:26.34] | |
| [01:34.51] | He had a stroke at the age of 24 |
| [01:37.69] | It could have been a brilliant career |
| [01:41.31] | Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes |
| [01:48.80] | Pulling the wool playing the fool it's no wonder that |
| [01:55.16] | He is dribbling spit tonight |
| [01:58.16] | And the one he sent away |
| [02:01.54] | Was the only one who stayed |
| [02:05.16] | With a spoon and a decent book |
| [02:08.47] | And you can tell by the way she looks she is sorry and resigned |
| [02:15.71] | As he wets himself for the final time |
