No One Was Like Vermeer |
Back in the days of old Rembrandt |
Back in the time of Jan Steen |
All of them giants of shadow and light |
But no one was like Vermeer |
Some paintings smell of joy and sweat |
Some paintings plain look so fine |
And some are sad and passionate |
But Vermeer sends a chill up your spine |
Yeah Vermeer sends a chill up your spine |
Vermeer was eerie |
Vermeer was strange |
He had his own color range |
As if born in a more modern age |
They may be oh a hundred or so years ago |
What’s this a ghost in the gallery |
Great Scot the Martians are here |
Why are his paintings so unlike the others |
Unlike the other ones so near |
No one was like Vermeer |
Back in the days of Rembrandt |
Back in the time of old Jan Steen |
All of the masters of shadow and light |
But no one was like Vermeer |
Vermeer… |
