Camera Obscura Your Picture Lyrics

Your Picture Lyrics

Your picture



My friend she told me such a story but she didn't know what I knew 

I laughed with my friend when she got to the end 

I knew we were laughing at you 



She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall


People come by and they look at your face 

And they say it's the fairest of all 



Of course you protest 

That's what you do best 

You're modest and shy to the end 



You're watching them a as they're looking at you 

And you know it was money well spent 



She told me you'd given up drinking to be with somebody you knew 

And you tried to get into the bible 

But it never got into you 



You've still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I'm one of the few 

I shouldn't have laughed Cause I mean you no harm 

But my friend got to me before you 



And next time I see you I'll be pleased to see you 

I hope you'll be pleased to see me 

I'll visit your picture I won't have the nerve 

To tell them that they've got you all wrong
