Lyrics Vincent Van Gogh - Live - Jonathan Richman

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.

OK, so what can we say about this Vincent Van Gogh?
Ellie.
He loved color and he let it show,
Ok, 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 talkin' about?
Vincent Van Gogh.
