Artist/Band: Billy Bragg
Lyrics for Song: Must I Paint You A Picture
Lyrics for Album: Workers Playtime [1996]



It's bad timing and me

We find a lot of things out this way

And there's you

A little black cloud in a dress



The temptation to take the precious things

We have apart to see how they work

Must be resisted for they never fit together again

If this is rain, let it fall on me and drown me

If these are tears let them fall



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



It took a short walk and a talk

To change the rules of engagement

While you searched frantically

For reverse



And then claiming that virtue never tested

Is no virtue at all

And so I lost my ignorance

And now the bells across the river chime out your name

I look across to them again



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



All your friends said come down, it will never fly

And on that imperfect day we threw it all away

Crisis after crisis, with such intensity

This would never happen if we lived by the sea



Most important decisions in life

Are made between two people in bed

I found that out at my expense



And when I see you

You just turn around and walk away like we never met

Oh, we used to be so brave

I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill

I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



Oh, must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

You know my love for you is strong, girl

You know my love for you is real



Must I paint you a picture

About the way that I'd feel?

Love is strong, love is real

Must I paint you a picture?
