lyrics

In the daily pantomime of the world being caught short
The only role I can afford is the back of the horse
Hanging up my dancing trousers and my love affairs
Taking my piano underground in the cupboard under the stairs
Gonna be a Sunday painter, catch a watercolour mood
Gonna be a Sunday painter, just for me and you

I dreamt of big red buses, Joe Lyons' cups of tea
Ducked under the radar and conjured up two or three
Curtains twitch at a pin dropping or a wheel spin
There’s DIY and wife swapping as I sit and sing
Gonna be a Sunday painter, catch a watercolour mood
Gonna be a Sunday painter, just for me and you

There comes a point you’re going nowhere
You have to step back, take a breath, ask yourself "who cares?"
If even Big Ben's chimes sound full of heartache
I’ll paint the sun back under the stairs…
Gonna be a Sunday painter, I'll catch a watercolour mood
Gonna be a Sunday painter, just for me and you
