Pictures of You

from Illinoise by Insane Ian

about

I wanted to write a Reel Big Fish song.

So I did.

lyrics

1)
Well we dated
Long ago
You said my devotion was sweet
So how was I to know?

That when you moved in you’d be so appalled
At my room ‘cause your pictures covered my walls
So you packed up your shit and ran out the door

Then I was left all alone with my stuff
I gotta say it was pretty rough
And I’m stuuuuuuuumped for what comes next because

Chorus:
What do I do with all these pictures of you?
Everywhere that I turn you’re always in my view
How can I move on?
It’s like you’re not even gone
All I can do is fawn over
Pictures of You

2)
I can’t donate them
To Goodwill
They just take the frames
And give me back the stills (I don’t want those back)

Why’d we break up? Well, I’m not sure
Something about me being immature
Well, I don’t get that, but you’re a poopy head

Then I got me a master plan
I’ll fix the pictures with this pen in my hand
And I knoooooooow I’m feeling better cause

Chorus:
I’m drawing on all these pictures of you
Everywhere that I turn I see someone new
Now I’m moving on
Look at what I’ve drawn
So many eyepatches on these
Pictures of You
Pictures of You-ou-ou

Bridge:
And then one day I was walking to the comic book store
I looked up and I saw my own face right there on a billboard
My hair was all awkward
And I was there in my boxers for all to seeeeee, no no no!

Chorus:
I can’t believe what you did to these Pictures of Me
And you displayed them all in a gallery!
You used me like a prop
How can I get you to stop
You cheated & used photoshop on these
Pictures of Me!
Pictures of me-e-e!
Pictures of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Pictures of me.
