lyrics

In any other room
In any other room
I could be noticed

They come in in their droves
From open ’til closed
Thousands pour in
Yet thousands more go
Snaking out the room
You can see the path grow
All eager for a glimpse of some primo Leonardo
Grumpy dads dragged through the crowd by their stealthy kids
Excusez-moi path as they limbo under selfie sticks
All trying to get a picture of a picture
Picturing that picture through the phone taking their picture
And everybody’s picture looks like everyone else’s picture
Like the original picture
But a smaller blurrier fixture
All the cameras held aloft makes the view limited
Next time just type Mona Lisa into google images

And here I am sat in a frame here opposite
Take anyone’s time but nobody’s yet offered it
Or realised there’s another painting to view
I’ve seen more backs than a masseuse in a queue
Occasionally they might turn and say
‘Right we’ve seen that shall we find the cafe?’
Try to catch their eye as I’m singing my lost song
Who am I kidding? They’re just thinking about a croissant

I can’t make
I can’t make
I can’t make
I can’t make no sound

In any other room





Always the wedding singer never the bridegroom
Its hard to get by when that loneliness finds you
If I was painted in a time that had iTunes
My playlists would just be sad songs
I feel like a raindrop trying to stand out from the shower
Or a tall person competing with the Eiffel tower
Although your height might be above average for a human
It would be of literally no interest to an architect

But then it was like my clouds were a parting shore
I realised I had everything I’d been asking for
How could I have never seen
The whole time everybody was looking at her
She’d been looking at me!
And I’m just sat here frozen
She could have the world but it’s me that she’s chosen
My heart’s racing I’ve never felt more alive
Think my whole painting’s glowing like ‘A Starry Night’
Yeh she’s a work of art
I mean she actually is a work of art
She’s like the Mona Lisa
Pinch me she is the Mona Lisa
I get lost in her eyes
If I’m a safe she’s unlocked me
She must have got the Da Vinci code
Just staring at that smirk in her features
I try to find the words but I’m speechless
