Lyrics Vincent Van Gogh - Jonathan Richman , The Modern Lovers

Have you heard about the painter Vincent Van Gogh
Who loved color and who let it show?
Now in the museum what have we here?
The baddest painter since God's Jon Vermeer
He loved he loved he loved life so bad
His paintings had twice the color other paintings had
So bad, so bad that the world had to know
The man loved color and he let it show
Well, in the Amsterdam museum I was feeling bad
And trying to find a way not to be that sad
I felt the feeling in the room sincere
Vincent Van Gogh, well, he seemed so near
And he loved he loved, he loved life like he did
His paintings had things that painters keep hid
He loved life so bad that the world had to know
He loved color and he let it show
Okay, so what can we say about this Vincent Van Gogh?
Ellie, he loved color and he let it show
Okay, Michael, now in the museum, what have we here?
The baddest painter since Jon Vermeer
He loved he loved he loved life with that heart
His paintings took off where the other paintings just start
He loved life so bad that the world had to know
He loved color and he let it show
Alright, have you heard about the painter Vincent Van Gogh
Who loved color and who let it show?
Now in the museum what have we here?
The baddest painter since God's Jon Vermeer
He loved he loved he loved life with a passion, his paintings
Said things that men generally don't do in that fashion
He loved life so bad that the world had to know
The man loved life folks and he let it show
Vincent Van Gogh, who we talking about?
