Meet James Ensor Lyrics
Meet James Ensor, Belgium's famous painter
Dig him up and shake his hand
Appreciate the man
Before there were junk stores, before there was junk,
he lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
The world was transformed
A crowd gathered round
Pressed against his window so they could be the first
to meet James Ensor, Belgium's famous painter
Raise a glass and sit and stare
Understand the man
He lost all his friends
He didn't need his friends
He lived with his mother and repeated himself
The world has forgotten
The world moved along
The crowd at his window went back to their homes
Dig him up and shake his hand
Appreciate the man
Before there were junk stores, before there was junk,
he lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
The world was transformed
A crowd gathered round
Pressed against his window so they could be the first
to meet James Ensor, Belgium's famous painter
Raise a glass and sit and stare
Understand the man
He lost all his friends
He didn't need his friends
He lived with his mother and repeated himself
The world has forgotten
The world moved along
The crowd at his window went back to their homes

Well, it's a song about James Ensore, the relativly famous artist. It's a few basic facts about his life and times. I guess. . .
I LOVE this song!!
this song is so cool, not the person himself, but like the whole enthusiasm that he talks about this guy is so groovy!
yeah, its awesome. The whole song is true aswell, about his life and stuff
The line about the "torments of Christ" refer to Ensor's only actual painting.
The remainder of his paintings were more or less just copies of his original, so people stopped coming.
