The picture is called 'I Should've Said Nothing', by a Stoke Newington artist, bought at a Town Hall Christmas fayre. The song is about the picture and sounds a bit like Teenage Fanclub.
lyrics
I should've said nothing at all
Feel like you've gone on a long vacation
But you're never coming back no more
Watching the train pull out of the lonely station
I've got a long way to walk
Through the mall
Lots of shoppers heeding marketing calls
It's a bore
I should've said nothing at all
The sun's a ball of fire in the sky
Floating in the blue with no clouds or direction
And people come from miles away
To burn on the sand searching for relaxation
I've got a lot of empty talk
It's small
Lots of dreams but no real goals
Life's a ball
I should've said nothing at all
I've got a bad-ass pair of ray bans
To cover my eyes while my soul is hurting
Might as well just work on my tan
And wile away the summer feeling pretty vacant
I've got a whole world to explore
This fall
I've got nothing to say anymore
