Picasso Visita el Planeta de los Simios Lyrics

See the Spaniard eating chocolates
See the Spaniard have a ball
See the Spaniard trust in no one
He's on Quality Street
He's on Quality Street

As the masters rot on walls
Aand the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes
As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso (aha)
Pablo Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)

See the Spaniard seek companion
See the Spaniard take it all
See the Spaniard sell his friends out
He's on Quality Street
He's on Quality Street

And pretenders pretend
To their patronage lend
But it's the ones we don't see
That always fascinate me (yeah)

As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes
As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso (aha)
Pablo Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)

And as the real heroes died
And their ideas supplied
To a fat little magpie
With money in his eyes
They bowed and they scraped
As opinions he shaped
How every little sketch
A fortune will fetch
And the bleach killer kills
And the bleach killer kills yeah

As the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard)
And the angels eat their grapes (sell the whole world)
I watched Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (aha)
As the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard)
and the angels eat their grapes (sell the whole world)
I watched Picasso (aha)
Pablo Picasso (aha)
Visit The Planet Of The...

As the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard)
And the angels eat their grapes (sell the whole world)
I watched Picasso (the whole world)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (aha)(sell the whole world)
As the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard)
And the angels eat their grapes (sell the whole world)
I watched Picasso (the whole world)
Pablo Picasso (sell the whole world)
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)

Cover art for Picasso Visita el Planeta de los Simios lyrics by Adam and the Ants

In the 1950's, the London Zoo featured an 'artist' chimp named Congo, whose canvases sold for thousands of dollars each and whose work was owned by such famous names as Salvadore Dalí, Joan Miró, and yes, Pablo Picasso. The Institute of Contemporary Arts even mounted a large exhibition of his work in 1957. To me, that jibes so well with the lyrics; 'As the masters rot on walls - And the angels eat their grapes - I watched Picasso - visit 'The Planet Of The Apes'. Kudos to whoever thought of selling a chimp's paintings! 'As the real heroes died -and their ideas supplied - to a fat little magpie - with money in his eyes - they bowed and they scraped -as opinions he shaped - now every little sketch a fortune will fetch'.
