Manic Street Preachers - People Ruin Paintings Lyrics

Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"People Ruin Paintings"

Take the climber out of the mountain
Give me a Pollock give me a Rothko
Take the explorer out of the wilderness
Take Van Gogh, leave us the Sunflowers

People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth

I've looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don't care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings

Take the sailor out of the ocean
Take the adventurer from the Arctic Circle
Take the nihilist out of the desert
Take the flag from the Sea Of Tranquility

People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth

I've looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don't care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings

People ruin paintings
Faces spoil the view
People destroy the truth

I've looked into a million eyes
They all finish dead and destroyed
I just don't care about the framing
'Cause people always ruin paintings
Ruin paintings
Ruin paintings
