about

A song about a great NZ prankster who showed the art world for what it was, a business!

lyrics

Good as Goldie

It's not the biggest racket since the bible
but mate, it's still a bloody good joke.
A claim-to-fame on another's name
from a family of reds and mirrors and smoke.
This den of trades down the end of main street,
this jack-of, a joker, this wild card.
With two keen eyes and a pencil stub
one-up'd the D's and high arts regard.

There's nothing concealed beneath this hat,
just a toupee to warm a wicked grin.
And a story delivered front tot end,
with all the 'authentic' colour in between.
Like trading paintings for fine white teeth,
to add a sparkle to a teller's smile.
Just add a name to a schoolboy's picture
then age with piss for complete artistic style.

Carl with a K
Karl with a C
The names the greatest prank
and Carl's as good as Goldie.

It was Rita who first blew the whistle
to the hands of demons across the road.
From boldness - BANG! - to quickly busted,
by dusty evidence, load on load.
From under the brush to under the gavel,
these fakes and frauds, the pretty forgeries.
From split opinion to minimal conviction,
the names the greats prank. And Carl's as good as Goldie.
