Boys Farmer – Art Gallery lyrics

Art Gallery

Get away
I'd like to live on an island
Somewhere that's warm and inviting
But not too far away
Come inside
There's lots of wine in the cellar
Make mine a Valpolicella
That's a nice bouquet

I need a place that's out of reach
(Art gallery)
Even the birds have sanctuary
(Art gallery)
I want to walk along the sand
And have no-one bother me
Art gallery

Hello dear
Come up and look at my etchings
I mean the things I've been sketching
Please put those away
Let's make a date
But there's no space in my diary
Thanks to the Sizewell Inquiry
Takes up all my days

I need a place that's out of reach
(Art gallery)
Even the birds have sanctuary
(Art gallery)
I want to walk along the sand
And have no-one bother me
Art gallery

[MIDDLE 8]

Get away
I'd like to live on an island
But I don't know if I'll find one
Not too far away
I'll pack tonight
Put on events for the locals
Benefits, bingo and socials
Supplement my pay

I need a place that's out of reach
(Art gallery)
Even the birds have sanctuary
(Art gallery)
I want to walk along the sand
And have no-one bother me
Art gallery

Instead of throwing it away
(Art gallery)
They go and put it on display
(Art gallery)
I want to walk along the sand
And have no-one bother me
Art gallery
