Endless Art

"Endless Art" is a song by Irish indie rock band A House, released initially as the lead track on the Bingo EP (1991) and then as a single from their 1991 album I Am the Greatest. It was later included on the greatest hits album The Way We Were.

After the commercial failure of their 1990 album I Want Too Much, A House had been dropped from their label Blanco y Negro Records and were signed by the indie label Setanta Records. They released the EPs Doodle and Bingo at the end of 1990 and in 1991. Bingo included the first appearance of "Endless Art", which A House recorded with Edwyn Collins as producer. Although the song did not enjoy great chart success, it reached number 46 in the UK and it gained some airplay on MTV Europe.

The lyrics to "Endless Art" begin with the line "All art is quite useless according to Oscar Wilde" and continue with a long list of the names and birth and death dates of artists from various fields, with the chorus line: "All dead but still alive, in endless time and endless art". This "list" style of song is characteristic of many of Dave Couse's songs. The majority of the lyrics are declaimed rather than sung, over a repetitive electric guitar motif. The song's chorus is evocative of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
