Let It All Go

Go, forget it, let it all go
Go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
You once had a craving for the brushes and paint

Sweet nothings, the seaside with yachts
These are not my decisions, flaming visions

Ringing expressions, the clamoring voice
He doesn’t like pictures with blotches and blots
Go, forget it, let it all go
I’d kill to get crimson on this palette knife
Go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
Anyway, now I’m old but if you won’t be told
They’ll all be enrolling young fellows like you
A hack writer judges my swipes and my smudges
And I’d steal in a minute, I’m up to here in it
All passion and lust is gonna end in the dust
Go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go

Get a job with a pension, don’t ever mention
You must go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
Go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
You’ve been created to answer the call
You here behaving as though I’m a saint
Go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
But you’ll hang on some government gallery wall

So go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
It’s volcanic desire, unquenchable fire
So go, forget it, let it all go, let it all go
Go, forget it, let it all go
So go join the navy, the air force or the army
The drawing room tea set wants horses, sunsets
Over in Poland, a right old to-do
It’s seat of the trousers, it’s all sink or swim, son
Here’s the end of the thirties, no time for arties

It isn’t a question of having a choice
