Picasso Visits The Planet Of The Apes Songtext / Lyric

See the Spaniard eating chocolates

see the Spaniard have a ball

see the Spaniard trust in no one

he's on quality street

he's on quality street



as the masters rot on walls

and the angels eat their grapes

I watched Picasso visit The Planet Of The Apes

as the masters rot on walls

and the angels eat their grapes

I watched Picasso

Pablo Picasso

visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)



see the Spaniard seek companion

see the Spaniard take it all

see the Spaniard sell his friends out

he's on quality street

he's on quality street






and pretenders pretend

to their patronage lend

but it's the ones we don't see



that always fascinate me



as the masters rot on walls

and the angels eat their grapes

I watched Picasso visit The Planet Of The Apes

as the masters rot on walls

and the angels eat their grapes

I watched Picasso

Pablo Picasso

visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)



as the real heroes died

and their ideas supplied

to a fat little magpie

with money in his eyes

they bowed and they scraped

as opinions he shaped

now every little sketch a fortune will fetch

and the bleach killer kills

and the bleach killer kills yeah



and as the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard sell the whole world)...
