Portrait Lyrics
Paint my picture if you must,
Please remember to be kind.
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Paint me with a building heart
Like some cruel valentine
But darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
And when you feel the clash, and you don't want me around,
Could you endure the rasp as kisses filled with fibreglass rain down
Heavy as a hummingbird
But more difficult to find
Well darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Clumsy as a ragtime clown
Or a dancing Frankenstein
Well darling, your broken heart was never on my mind
So pull this canvas down beneath that angry moon
As you endure the sound of one more singer singing out of tune.
Out of tune.
So paint my picture, well, if you must
Not forgetting to be kind
Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Please remember to be kind.
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Like some cruel valentine
But darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Could you endure the rasp as kisses filled with fibreglass rain down
But more difficult to find
Well darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Or a dancing Frankenstein
Well darling, your broken heart was never on my mind
As you endure the sound of one more singer singing out of tune.
Out of tune.
Not forgetting to be kind
Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.

According to Duke himself, this song is about "pissing someone off before they are about to take a lovely picture of you, which might not turn out to be so lovely!"
