Creation - Painter Man 1967
1967 in Charts: UK No. 36, DE No. 8
Went to college, studied art
to be an artist. make a start
studied hard, gained my degree
but no one seemed to notice me
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
Tried cartoons and comic books
dirty postcards, woman's books
here was where the money lay
classic art has had its day
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
Do adverts for TV
household soap and brands of tea
labels all around the cans
who would be a Painter Man
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la
Painter Man, Painter Man
Who would be a Painter Man

fuckin heavy band man for the time
-
@secretgothic yes,punk.
-
@secretgothic i'll agree to your staement;early mod-punk.
-
WOW!Forget the Stones or the Beatles,this group are somewhere between the Kinks and The Who.Very underrated band with a unique sound.Still can't believe Painter Man only reached number 36 in the charts.The guy seems to be playing his guitar with a violin,is this where Jimmy Page got the idea from?
-
@TheRepub I disagree-this is brilliant early punk rock.
-
This band was really underrated. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from the 60s that didn´t "broke through". It´s a fantastic musical treasure. Listen (youtube) for example to:
THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah".
(Really f.....g good with a bloody driving beat).
THE GOLLIWOGS and the tune "Tell me". Check up the singer...Yes, it´s him!!!
-
I think almost all fans of "Painter Man" thinks this as an original from Boney M.
-
@Studmasterify No, it's been done even earlier than Page and this.
