[Verse 1]
It's not that complicated
No more than a clench of fist –
She want to paint her heart out
She want to tell it as she sees it is
Authority condemns her
They say to paint's a waste without a base
Some bedrock of idea
[Chorus 1]
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
It's passionless bed-rest
Work-body that's headless
A head that's without heart –
Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art
[Verse 2]
Her constant vows mean nothing
Not content alone that sells –
The Market Theory beckons
No-one remembers what the story tells;
No-one remembers passion
We just recite the line
That art is fine and fashion costly
It's not that complicated
No more than a clench of fist –
She want to paint her heart out
She want to tell it as she sees it is
Authority condemns her
They say to paint's a waste without a base
Some bedrock of idea
[Chorus 1]
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
Painting by numbers doesn't add up
It's passionless bed-rest
Work-body that's headless
A head that's without heart –
Painting by numbers doesn't add up to art
[Verse 2]
Her constant vows mean nothing
Not content alone that sells –
The Market Theory beckons
No-one remembers what the story tells;
No-one remembers passion
We just recite the line
That art is fine and fashion costly
