Lyrics for The Chair Needs Paint
The Chair Needs Paint (based on a text by Drs. P; a tribute) The land is tired And grey're the skies The wind is cold As cold as ice My coat is thin, its colour where The road is long, the tree is bare My back is bent And might is sore The air is foul The bread is poor The floor is wrecked, the roof is bad The pane is smashed, the child is mad La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la The wall is damp, the light is faint The dog is mean, the chair needs paint And money's tight, the bread is poor Or did I say this once before The eye is dim The blood is red The hair is grey The horse is dead The meat is tough, the work is hard The beer is dear and there we are La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la, la la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
