When I Was A Painter Lyrics
Inside legs of corduroy I've been
Heard stories of bare velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
When I was a painter I painted you well
Too bad I have to die
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
And many lovers at one time
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
On and on, on, on
Inside legs of corduroy I've been
Heard stories of bare velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
On and on, on, on
Heard stories of bare velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
When I was a painter I painted you well
Too bad I have to die
You brought the essentials, perversion appeal
And many lovers at one time
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
On and on, on, on
Inside legs of corduroy I've been
Heard stories of bare velveteen
Twenty hours later I fill the room
With bad sex and bad TV
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
On and on, on, on

I'm pretty sure it's "inside legs of courduroy I've been". Is it just me who's hearing it like that?
i think you're right, it does sound like that, and it does make more sense. plus, i'm pretty sure the line is "heard stories of bare* velveteen". also i think she might be saying tea instead of tv, a friend and i have discussed this and we still aren't sure, but i'd like to believe that she says both.
