Sittin' on a pavement im just scratchin' up a livin' I'm just a pavement artist but no money i've been given Can't do no better 'cos i haven't got a brain Some people even say that i'm a little bit insane
I'm an artist and i paint scenes of people who are have beens And i see what they used to be Before they met me
People always tell me that my life is lived in sin My face is pretty dirty and my breath it stinks of gin But i'm quite content at the way that i've been livin' As long as there is paint around my work just keeps me livin'
I'm an artist and i paint scenes of people who are have beens And i see what they used to be Before they met me
(Spoken) Here i am again talking to the road Gotta keep on moving before i get busted
I Started off at college but i couldn't pay my way And found that my money didn't last from day to day So packing up my bags i just had to hit the road And try and find a friend who could help me take the load
I'm an artist and i paint scenes of people who are have beens And i see what they used to be Before they met me
