Picture Show Lyrics


A young man from a small town
With a very large imagination
Lay alone in his room with his radio on
Looking for another station
When the static from the mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture in a Picture Show
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture in a Picture Show
And It's, oh, daddy get off of your knees
Mama, why'd you have to go
Your darling Jim is out on a limb
I put my picture in a Picture Show
Whoa, ho, put my picture in a Picture Show
Hamburgers, cheeseburgers
Wilbur and Orville Wright
John Garfield in the afternoon

Montgomery Clift at night
When the static hit the mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture in a Picture Show
And It's, oh, daddy get off of your knees
Mama why'd you have to go
Your darling Jim is out on a limb
I put my picture in a Picture Show
Whoa, ho, put my picture in a Picture Show
A Mocca man in a Wigwam sitting on a reservation
With a big black hole in the belly of his soul
Waiting on an explanation
While the white man sits on his fat can
And takes pictures of the Navajo
Every time he clicks his Kodak pics
He steals a little bit of soul
Every time he clicks his Kodak pics
He steals a little bit of soul
And It's, oh, daddy get off of your knees
Mama, why'd you have to go
Your darling Jim is out on a limb
I put my picture in a Picture Show
Whoa, ho, put my picture in a Picture Show
Ya, ha, put my picture in a Picture Show
Here we go
A young man from a small town
With a very large imagination

Lanterns On The Lake is a five-piece indie rock band from Newcastle-upon-tyne, United Kingdom. Formed in 2007, the band is composed of Hazel Wilde, Paul Gregory, Sarah Kemp, Oliver Ketteringham and Andrew Scrogham. The band has released two EPs, 'The Starlight EP' (2009) and 'Misfortunes & Minor Victories' (2010). Budgets being tiny for the EPs, the band borrowed an eight-track recorder and captured every intimate breath and soaring crescendo in their own homes and at an isolated house in Northumberland. Handmade sleeves for both EPs reinforced the self-sufficient approach.
