Art & Photography Playlist #2 Bob Dylan: She Belongs To Me

Songs about Art and Photography: a playlist.
#2 Bob Dylan: She Belongs To Me (click to play live 1966 performance)
Barry Feinstein, Bob Dylan, Aust Ferry, 1966
She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of the night-time
And paint the daytime black


You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees


She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She’s nobody’s child
The Law can’t touch her at all


She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She’s a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique


Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween give her a trumpet
And for Christmas, buy her a drum

Bob Dylan, 1965 - on Bringing It All Back Home
