The Painter

Ever wanted to try your hand hand at something but were too afraid to try? Well, this song is for you. As the song says; “I can’t fail ‘cos at least I tried”. Pick up that paintbrush and see what comes out! I like to think song has a playful early Elton John kind of feel to it. – Stevie J

Lyric Video


THE PAINTER

Stevie J Mayer

Mmm, yeah yeah

I’ve never been much I’ve a painter
But then again I’ve never tried
I have enough trouble painting a door
Let alone painting it right

Oh, the way I see it I got nothin’ to lose
Oh, ‘cos I aint got nothin’ left to prove

So I think I’ll get me an easel
This might even turn into fun
Pocket my memories, ask friends & family
If anyone’s got an apron

Oh, ‘cos I gotta try somethin’ new
Oh, and I’ll do it with or without you
Oh,’cos I got this itch I gotta scratch
Oh, then I’ll get this monkey off my back

Now I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Oh, I can’t fail ‘cos at least I’ve tried
Oh, so I’ll sit back & enjoy the ride

‘Cos I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart
I’m finally, following my heart

Mmm, yeah yeah
