Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) Flock of Seagulls
Autopilot Off “What I Want”
*I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn’t even notice the lens
*
“Flash, bang, wallop, what a picture,
What a picture, what a photograph.”
These are the only lyrics I can remember. I seem to recall them doing this in a skit on the old Carol Burnett Show. IIRC, Roddy McDowell was in it.
Fountain of Sorrow, by Jackson Browne. Here’s the first eight lines:
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn’t show your spirit quite as true
You were turning ’round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
here’s the full lyrics
You must have been Mr. Olympian
Wiith all that amplitude.
How come you always load your Pentax when I’m in the nude?
Michael Franks – Popsicle Toes
Also from Mr. Franks, The Camera Never Lies.
Depeche Mode - Photographic
"The Harsh Truth of the Camera’s Eye" - Morrisey
*My so friendly lens
zooms into
“the inner you”
and it tells the harsh truth
and nothing but
…
This photographer
he must have really had it in for you*
