Tina Blau (1845-1916, Austrian landscape painter), A canal by the North Sea
Another of Izzy’s songs:
I fancy this is one of the Beatles’ less familiar songs so begin with the lyrics:
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me…
She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said, “It’s time for bed”She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bathAnd when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, norwegian wood.
