Painter Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Went to college, studied art
To be an artist. Make a start
Studied hard, gained my degree
But no one seemed to notice me
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man
Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards, woman's books
Here was where the money lay
Classic art has had its day
Painter man
Painter man...
Do adverts for tv
Household soap and brands of tea
Labels all around the cans
Who would be a painter man
Painter man
Painter man...
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la
Painter man
Painter man
Who would be a painter man
