[00:00.00]Estelle (Album Version) - Dan Bern
[00:28.61]I was painting a still life this morning
[00:30.47]
[00:31.25]Of a throat lozenge sitting
[00:32.80]On a copy of Tropic of Cancer
[00:34.46]The only thing weird
[00:35.43]About it is that a year ago
[00:37.00]I never thought I'd paint anything again
[00:38.68]
[00:39.84]I decided I wasn't ever gonna paint again
[00:42.63]It didn't bother me too much Warhol's dead
[00:44.90]
[00:45.54]David Hockney's still alive
[00:47.26]I don't need to paint
[00:48.41]
[00:50.94]I painted over ten thousand paintings
[00:53.33]Sad ones funny ones
[00:55.31]Dark ones and light ones
[00:56.80]I've done haystacks and
[00:58.09]Rich old ladies by their pools
[00:59.79]Wearing nothing but a scarf
[01:01.10]
[01:02.17]I've painted everything there was to paint
[01:04.10]
[01:04.71]Now it was time to sit back give interviews
[01:07.64]Get on the internet hang out at club med
[01:10.09]Take stock of what I've done
[01:11.82]
[01:13.29]You know the best friend I ever had was a dog
[01:16.42]It sounds like a cliche
[01:17.77]Unless it's happened to you
[01:19.18]Some days that dog was the
[01:20.74]Only reason I even got out of bed
[01:24.04]
[01:24.85]That dog went everywhere with me
[01:26.60]And then I heard the crack addicts
[01:28.12]Were stealin' dogs and
[01:29.25]Selling them for animal research
[01:30.52]It sounded like an urban myth to
[01:32.19]Me like the mouse in the Coke bottle
[01:33.86]But I started leavin' her at home after that
[01:36.23]You know Paula was my wife for a while
[01:39.11]She ran off to Paris with
[01:40.42]The great grandson of Van Gogh
[01:42.38]A cartoonist who did
[01:43.47]Fashion graphics for Le Monde
[01:45.65]
[01:47.58]When Paula left she took
[01:48.99]My dog I never saw her again
[01:51.36]Except in the court during the custody battle
[01:53.53]She won and got to keep the dog
[01:55.34]And I didn't speak to anyone for months
[01:58.77]You know sometimes it feels
[02:01.49]Like there's so much that you need
[02:04.69]Sometimes the world is upside down
[02:08.48]
[02:10.39]Sometimes it seems like the only thing you need
[02:15.83]Is holdin' someone's
[02:17.39]Hand as you walk through town
[02:26.77]
[02:29.43]I started hanging around with Dino
[02:31.54]He used to run a poker game back east
[02:33.64]Now he has a little coffee shop
[02:35.37]Sells cappuccino to his old pals
[02:37.30]Tommy Chicago and Jimmy the Wig and Ugly Rose
[02:40.27]
[02:40.79]You know the best person I ever knew
[02:42.75]Was a Mormon woman named Estelle
[02:44.41]She still calls me drunk every few months
[02:46.57]And asks me stuff I don't want to talk about
[02:49.11]You can't talk to her long
[02:50.41]Unless you're drunk yourself
[02:51.56]Then we go all night
[02:53.02]
[03:02.99]Yeah she goes "Why baby
[03:04.20]Why baby why baby why
[03:06.43]Have you turned your back on love
[03:08.37]You had so many chances
[03:09.93]Why have you let 'em all go by "
[03:13.85]
[03:14.38]Well one morning I was sitting
[03:15.80]Out in front of Dino's place
[03:17.06]With Jake the Shears a guy
[03:18.54]From Philly who gives free mohawks
[03:20.29]There were a couple of young
[03:21.54]Painters I was hopin' to come by
[03:22.86]So I could give 'em some advice
[03:24.44]
[03:25.38]Yeah I was sittin' there updating my list of enemies
[03:28.05]When this girl walks in
[03:29.32]And the universe kind of stops
[03:31.16]Turned out she drank the same tea as me
[03:33.32]Don't take more than that
[03:34.52]To start a conversation sometimes
[03:36.35]She believed collage was
[03:37.62]The greatest of all the arts
[03:39.37]And was busy pasting pictures
[03:40.79]Of horses next to ads for laundry soap
[03:43.21]Next to Mohammed Ali
[03:44.64]She had a turquoise in her ear
[03:46.21]And said Rachmaninoff
[03:46.84]Was always in her head
[03:48.40]But later that day I was trying
[03:50.24]To describe her to Jimmy the Wig
[03:51.98]
[03:52.62]I couldn't find any words and
[03:54.79]I realized I'd started to sketch her chin
[03:58.39]
[03:58.93]Somehow it didn't look right
[04:00.70]I scratched it out and tried it again
[04:03.19]I filled an entire pad I threw
[04:06.21]It away I never even came close
[04:08.72]
[04:09.71]For a six days I sat at Dino's place
[04:12.83]The rain wouldn't quit
[04:14.31]And no one came in
[04:15.64]Finally on the seventh day
[04:17.34]It cleared and in she walked
[04:20.77]I asked her to sit with me
[04:22.51]And I bought her a cup of tea
[04:24.12]And I asked her to
[04:25.38]Model for me sometime
[04:26.70]That afternoon I was at a canvas
[04:28.64]She was wearing a yellow dress
[04:30.07]I swore if she let me I'd get it right
[04:32.41]I've painted over ten thousand paintings
[04:35.14]Sad ones funny ones
[04:36.89]Dark ones and light ones
[04:38.20]But sitting there it was like
[04:39.71]I couldn't even write my own name
[04:43.16]I apologized and said "It's been a few months
[04:45.99]If you have patience
[04:47.11]I'll get the hang of it again"
[04:48.96]In the next few weeks
[04:50.30]I painted her hundreds of times
[04:54.07]If I get the nose right the chin's too long
[04:57.23]If I get 'em both right the face is too thin
[05:00.07]But I keep after it and
[05:01.63]One day I I'll get it all right
[05:05.68]
[05:28.16]I painted a still life
[05:29.65]This morning of a throat lozenge
[05:31.96]Sitting on a copy of Tropic of Cancer
[05:33.71]The only thing was funny is that
[05:35.72]I never thought I'd paint anything again
[05:37.60]
[05:39.04]I think I might go visit Estelle
[05:40.89]
[05:41.58]Those Utah mountains are good for the soul
[05:43.78]
[05:44.35]I'll bring my brushes and some Jack Daniels
[05:46.68]And we can make up for lost time
[05:49.50]And she said "Why baby
[05:51.13]Why baby why baby why
[05:53.09]Baby why have you turned your back on love
[05:55.78]You had so many chances
[05:56.86]Why have you let 'em all go by "
[06:00.66]And she says "Why baby
[06:02.03]Why baby why baby why
[06:03.98]Baby why have you turned your back on love
[06:06.55]You had so many chances
[06:07.98]Why have you let 'em all go by "
[06:11.21]Sometimes it seems like
[06:15.31]There's so much that you need
[06:17.61]Sometimes the world is upside down
[06:23.07]Sometimes it seems
[06:26.05]Like the only thing you need
[06:28.33]
[06:29.29]Is holdin' someone's hand
[06:31.37]As you walk through town
