Camera Obscura - Your Picture lyrics

My friend, she told me such a story
But she didn't know what I knew
I laughed with my friend when
She got to the end
I knew we were laughing at you
She told me that you made some money
You got yourself framed on the wall
And people come by and they look at your face
And they say it's the fairest of all
Of course you protest
That's what you do best
And you're modest and shy to the end
You're watching them as they're
Looking at you
And you know it was money well spent

She told me you'd given up drinking
To be with somebody you knew
And you tried to get into the Bible
But it never got into you
You've still got some loyal disciples
I suppose that I'm one of the few
I shouldn't have laughed
'cause I mean you no harm
But my friend got to me before you
So next time I see you, I'll be please
D to see you
I hope you'll be please, d to see me
I'll visit your picture
I won't have the nerve
To tell them that they've got you all wrong
