Lyrics and translation Dave Cousins feat. Brian Willoughby - Hanging In The Gallery
Is
it
the
painter
or
the
picture
hanging
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
peintre
ou
le
tableau
accroché
à
la
galerie
?
Admired
by
countless
thousands
who
attempt
to
read
the
secrets
Admiré
par
d'innombrables
milliers
qui
tentent
de
lire
les

Of
his
vision
of
his

sa
vision
de
son
âme
même
Is
it
the
painter
or
the
picture
hanging
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
peintre
ou
le
tableau
accroché
à
la
galerie
?
Or
is
it
but
a
still
life
of
his
own
interpretation
Ou
est-ce
juste
une
nature
morte
de
sa
propre
interprétation
Of
the
way
that
God
has
made
us
in
the
image
of
His
eye?
De
la
façon
dont
Dieu
nous
a
faits
à
l'image
de
Son
œil

Is
it
the
sculptor
or
the
sculpture
standing
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
sculpteur
ou
la
sculpture
qui
se
tient
dans
la
galerie
?
Touched
by
fleeting
strangers
who
desire
to
feel
the
strength
of
hands
Touché
par
des
étrangers
fugaces
qui
désirent
sentir
la
force
des
mains
That
realized
a
form
of
life
Qui
ont
réalisé
une
forme
de
vie
Is
it
the
sculptor
or
the
sculpture
standing
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
sculpteur
ou
la
sculpture
qui
se
tient
dans
la
galerie
?
Or
is
it
but
the
tenderness
with
which
his
hands
were
guided
Ou
est-ce
juste
la
tendresse
avec
laquelle
ses
mains
ont
été
guidées
To
discard
the
unessential's
and
reveal
the
perfect
truth?
Pour
écarter
l'inessentiel
et
révéler
la
vérité
parfaite
?
Is
it
the
actor
or
the
drama
playing
to
the
gallery?
Est-ce
l'acteur
ou
le
drame
qui
joue
pour
la
galerie
?
Heard
in
every
corner
of
the
theatre
of
cruelty
Entendu
dans
chaque
recoin
du
théâtre
de
la
cruauté
That
masks
the
humor
in
his
speech
Qui
masque
l'humour
dans
son
discours
Is
it
the
actor
or
the
drama
playing
to
the
gallery?
Est-ce
l'acteur
ou
le
drame
qui
joue
pour
la
galerie
?
Or
is
it
but
the
character
of
any
single
member
of
Ou
est-ce
juste
le
personnage
de
n'importe
quel
membre
de
The
audience
that
forms
the
plot
of
each
and
every
play?
Le
public
qui
forme
l'intrigue
de
chaque
pièce
?
Is
it
the
singer
or
his
likeness
hanging
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
chanteur
ou
son
portrait
accroché
à
la
galerie
?
Tongue
black,
still
and
swollen,
his
eyes
staring
from
their
sockets
Langue
noire,
immobile
et
gonflée,
ses
yeux
fixent
leurs
orbites
He
is
silent
now,
will
sing
no
more
Il
est
silencieux
maintenant,
ne
chantera
plus
Is

the
singer
or
his
likeness
hanging
in
the
gallery?
Est-ce
le
chanteur
ou
son
portrait
accroché
à
la
galerie
?
Or
is
it
but
his
conscience,
insecurity
and
loneliness
Ou
est-ce
juste
sa
conscience,
son
insécurité
et
sa
solitude
When
destiny
becomes
at
last
the
cause
of
his
demise?
Quand
le
destin
devient
enfin
la
cause
de
sa
disparition
?
