The year was 1981
A kid of smoke grit and coal
In the background record playing rubber soul
Incense just so set art work beneath the desk
She knew the rage way back then she's a sucker for fine art
Unique antiquity or a copy of a tele screen
Let me unveil to you
God given masterpiece
Maybe 40 years ago
Paint a picture I thought I used to know
Hung above her daddy's sofa
Lay the fearsome tiger in the growth
81' is a picture of a tiger
And I wonder whose name I can't recall
Lets pretend that they really care who lives out with you past nowhere
Regal in her own regard but mental to the world apart
What is royalty
But unreality
Madame immortality
Daughter of Sir Controversy
Should we dance beneath the sheets
From mill hill down to downing street
Maybe 40 years ago
Paint a picture I thought i used to know
Hung above her daddy's sofa
Lay the fearsome tiger in the growth
81' is a picture of a tiger
And I wonder whose name I can't recall
Its a hard life
Her meaning is clear
Nowt but raw education
Smothered with ash tray romantics
There's a lack of appreciation
For the skill that is here
40 years of time flew by
I see her frame with deep blue eyes
Hung above my grand piano
In my house in which she now resides
81 is a picture of a tiger
And brushstrokes hide the name forevermore
