about

The Artist and the Model was recorded and released by Po! on the 1993 album Ducks and Drakes

lyrics

The artist and the model stroll hand in hand
Drawing my attention
Changing my perspective
A long time ago you used my name
And the money’s rolling in.

I sat around for hours in your studio
Drinking in the sunlight
Smoothing out your madness
I was young and I didn’t know
What the future held.

I would give anything you like to live
Anywhere but on your wall
In a frame of gilt.

And if I worked all year at the hospital
Someone would outbid me
For a picture of me
I don’t own the flesh on my bones
Or a picture of you.

I would try anything but I can’t buy
Images of you or I
In a frame of gilt.
