COMMENTS:

Robert: I got the inspiration for [Lady Picture Show] after I heard this Badfinger song 'Apple Of My Eye'.

Robert: I remember our recording technique on that record. We made that record out in Santa Barbara at a big, beautiful house. There was a big cedar closet, like an attic, and we put Eric in the attic to record the drums.

Dean: I'm reminded of the Rickenbacker 12-string I played on this song. I wish we had mixed it more like "Plush"; the guitar is vaguely hard right on the verse. I wish I had mixed it differently.

 
LYRICS:

Lady picture show,
she hides behind the bedroom door
Lady picture show
she hides behind the bedroom wall

She hides because she don't know nothin',
don't know nothin' anymore
She keeps a funny face
it's locked and bagged it's just outside the door

She doesn't know her name
She doesn't know her face
She doesn't know her name
She doesn't know her face anymore
Let them be

Lady picture show,
she hides behind the bedroom door
Lady picture girl,
I think them boys don't like your show
Lady picture show them boys are gone,
should just say no
Your wedding presents' not so
daisy picture perfect anymore
Lady funny face it's locked and bagged
it's just outside the door

Don't know nothin' anymore
