Judas Unrepentant |
| Venetian expertise |
| Inspired by Titian |
| Which he modified |
| Fine tuned along dutch lines |
| He’s painting revenge |
| Embittered by lack of success |
| With signature techniques |
| Attention to details |
| And fine tell tale brushstrokes |
| Of badger and sable |
| Expressing contempt |
| For greedy dealers |
| Getting rich |
| At the artist’s expense |
| Infamous forger and restorer |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Branded a charming old lovable rogue |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas! |
| His time bombs are in place |
| And anachronisms |
| Clues pointing to the truth |
| If ever they are X-rayed |
| Wrote legends in lead white |
| To trick the experts |
| And hoodwink |
| Hoodwink the trained eye |
| Infamous forger and restorer |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Branded a charming old lovable rogue |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Establishing provenance |
| Acquiring old frames with Christies numbers |
| Then paints a picture in the same style |
| Specialising in minor works by major artists |
| «All rise!» |
| Thirteen watercolours by Samuel Palmer |
| Have proven to be his undoing |
| And so he confesses then he is arrested |
| Charged him with conspiracy to defraud |
| Years of chain smoking and breathing in fumes from restorations |
| The stress of the court case had taken its toll |
| His trial was halted due to ill health |
| So now we can all buy |
| Real genuine fakes |
| That’s posthumous fame |
| It’s always the same |
| Infamous forger and restorer |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Branded a charming old lovable rogue |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Feeling like Robin Hood |
| Just as good |
| As Rembrandt or Titian |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
| Hey |
| Judas Unrepentant |
