Art Class Love Affair
Tonedeaf Jnr. was born into a family of travelling midgets back in 1963, which fortunately coincided with the craze in building roller-coasters. You see that sign that says 'No-one below 3' 6" allowed on this ride'? That's Tonedeaf Snr's work, that is. He rode just about every new coaster built since '64 to check how low a ride's permissions could go before it started launching the occupants out across the park. That's actually how Snr. met Mrs. Deaf. She was trimming her beard over by the caravans when Snr. came flying through the air, narrowly avoiding a mid-air collision with Busted Bone Billy - who was practising his human cannonball act - and landed on the fortune teller's tent, who luckily had seen him coming in more ways than one and had evacuated to the strongman's arms. It was a right circus, but thereafter - and especially when young Tonedeaf started blowing his horn in public - everyone said it must have been fate.

Lyrics
Hairless Jim in Repose Hairless Jim and One-Eyed Mick fell in love over a charcoal stick One hot night in the sketching class Said Mick, “D’you mind if come near? I can’t see what I want from here.” Said Jim, “Do you need a looking glass?” Love amongst the charcoal, the pastels and the paint Two minute poses, made without complaint “Hold it there! Please don’t move. That’s the best one yet. “If I can get a likeness, I’ll post it on the net.” With just one eye, and classroom light, Mick struggled to get perspective right And all his lines were drawn with a shaking hand What was thick looked kind of thin, his straights were bent and his outs went in Yet what was modest turned out very grand. Love amongst the charcoal, the pastels and the paint Two minute poses, made without complaint “Hold it there! Please don’t move. Yes, that’s the one. “If I can get a likeness, I’ll show it to my mum.” When the time came to cast an eye over the finished work, Jim went shy He wondered just how Mick had captured him But Jim did blush in sheer delight, Mick had got the angles right He’d never so looked so hard and yet so trim Love amongst the charcoal, the pastels and the paint Two minute poses, made without complaint “Hold it there! Please don’t move. I can’t believe my eyes. “If I can get a likeness, I’ll tattoo it on my thigh.” And so love came to Jim and Mick, as surprising as a magic trick And as a beautiful as a Van Gogh rose Michelangelo and Rafael could not have conjured such a spell As Mick’s did with his “Hairless Jim in Repose” Love amongst the charcoal, the pastels and the paint Two minute poses, made without complaint “Hold it there! Please don’t move. That’s the best one yet. “If I can get a likeness, I’ll post it on the net.”
