Information

Lyrics

Art-hounds like something

But Art-hounds love nothing And those that do are judged by those Who tried and found they couldn't do

Art-hounds seek the Greek ideal Gaze on what they'll never feel The pitiless revenge of those without friends Pitiless, pitiless revenge

Art-hounds nose around They've seen it somewhere written down And everything they've seen on the moving screen Helps them pinpoint the page

In European museums Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? In European museums Will I see you?

My life is a book My life is a book My life is a book My life is a book

Art-hounds in a restaurant They bring along their loving Aunt But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mabel They stamp their feet and cry

Art-hounds in a restaurant They bring along their loving Aunt But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mabel They stamp their feet and cry

In European hushed museums Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? In European hushed museums Will I see you?

My life is a book My life is a book My life is a book My life is a book

Art-hounds - very funny, very witty, but very lonely And below the belt is shriveled and small It knows a thousand woes

Art-hounds - very funny, very witty, but very lonely And below the belt is shriveled and small It knows a thousand woes

In European hushed museums Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? Will I see you? In European hushed museums Will I see you?

When you cannot stand the real world When you cannot stand the real world Take my hand when you cannot stand the real world

When you cannot stand the real world When you cannot stand the real world Take my hand when you cannot stand the real world

I take fifteen pills to send me to sleep And fifteen pills to shake me awake Oh, what does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? Oh, what does it mean?

Nobody knows...
