IDLES
"Stendhal Syndrome"

Did you see that painting what Rothko did?
Looks like it was painted by a two year old kid

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

Ignorance is bliss, yeah?
Well I'm not pleased
Because you spread your opinion like a wretched disease

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

Did you see that photo what Billingham took?
He needs to take a leaf out the screensaver book

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

If all photos were as you wanted them to be
There would be page three as far as the eye could see

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

[Chorus:]
Forgive me you sound stupid
Here lies the one I love
Forgive me you sound stupid
Here lies the one I love

Did you see that selfie what Francis Bacon did?
Don't look nothing like him, what a fucking div

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

Did you see that pink thing what Basquiat done?
Looks like it was drawn by my four year-old son

[Refrain:]
Hot air
Hot air

[Chorus:]
Forgive me you sound stupid
Here lies the one I love
Forgive me you sound stupid
Here lies the one I love

[Outro:]
Here he is somehow
Oh, here he is somehow
Hey!
