Paint A Face Lyrics
Try to get the colours right
And I’ll paint you face she said
Cos life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right
Buy a ten-dollar camera
take a picture of everyone
Cos people change
Yeah they change
Changing everyday
And I don’t want to be the one that you don’t recognise
I don’t want to be the one that’s left behind
Got a broken car yeah got a selfish heart
Running down the road
With a jukebox in my head
Funny how I got to here
I don’t remember how
I just want to live somewhere where the air is sweet and clear
And I don’t want to be the one that you don’t recognise
I don’t want to be the one that’s left behind
And I’ll paint you face she said
Cos life is on the outside babe
And you got to try and get it right
take a picture of everyone
Cos people change
Yeah they change
Changing everyday
I don’t want to be the one that’s left behind
Running down the road
With a jukebox in my head
Funny how I got to here
I don’t remember how
I just want to live somewhere where the air is sweet and clear
I don’t want to be the one that’s left behind

I saw Neil two nights ago at Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC. This is my favorite song of his. His mix of mandolin, guitar and beat structure are really appealing in this song, and the lyrics are subtly beautiful.
