Say You Don’t Mean Paul Brady

You say Matisse and Picasso scanned the Montparnasse sky
They envied Samson in Gaza his blind all-seeing eye
Not to mention his outrageous hair
You say no decent painter will set a thing down straight
Only a breaker of boundaries may be truly great
Think Rimbaud, think Baudelaire
You say that I've misread the venting of your spleen

All the terrible things you've said
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
The horrible things you've done
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
Haw haw haw haw haw!
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)

Next up James Joyce and Sam Beckett
They scanned the Sandy mount sky
All they saw was small potatoes they'd bigger fish to fry
Ain't it always some revolt?
You say a decent writer always tells it slant
I should take my need for order down to the assembly plant
Think Henry Ford and Samuel Colt
You say I've jumped the gun... by raising the umpteen

Terrible things you've said
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
All the horrible things you've done
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
Haw haw haw haw haw!
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
(You say you don't mean, you say you don't mean)
