Rubens Has Been Shot! lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
How bent your branches seem to be
1921 and all's well
Another fifteen years and we'll be laughing in hell

[Verse 2]
One bullet straight through the heart
Rubens caught a ricochet, Durer's lady cried today
Cracked old masters up against the wall
Blue-faced Wendy Woolworth - she's seen it all

[Verse 3]
Housepainter, housepainter
Hanging your swastika wallpaper
Rows of pretty cabbageheads to gobble up your words
Laughing along to your blah, blah, blah
