Must I Paint You A Picture - Billy Bragg


    It's bad timing and me
    We find a lot of things out this way
    And there's you
    A little black cloud in a dress
    The temptation
    To take the precious things we have apart
    To see how they work
    Must be resisted for they never fit together again
    If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
    If these are tears let them fall

    Must I paint you a picture
    About the way that I feel
    You know my love for you is strong girl
    You know my love for you is real

    It took a short walk and a talk
    To change the rules of engagement
    While you searched frantically for reverse
    And then claiming
    That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
    And so I lost my ignorance
    And now the bells across the river chime out your name
    I look across to them again

    Must I paint you a picture
    About the way that I feel
    You know my love for you is strong girl
    You know my love for you is real

    All your friends said come down
    It will never fly
    And on that imperfect day
    We threw it all away
    Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
    This would never happen if we lived by the sea

    Most important decisions in life
    Are made between two people in bed
    I found that out at my expense
    And when I see you
    You just turn around and walk away like we never met
    Oh we used to be so brave
    I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill
    I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still

    Must I paint you a picture
    About the way that I feel
    You know my love for you is strong girl
    You know my love for you is real

    Must I paint you a picture
    About the way that I feel
    You know my love for you is strong girl
    You know my love for you is real
