Rufus Wainwright
It always spoils our delicately manufactured stereotypes when a famous musician's offspring turns out to possess a modicum of talent themselves....
IT ALWAYS SPOILS OUR DELICATELY manufactured stereotypes when a famous musician's offspring turns out to possess a modicum of talent themselves. Yet another hapless Lennon is much easier to assimilate and dismiss than a truly gifted Buckley; those born with a silver plectrum in their tiny privileged fists are such fun to sneer at. Rufus Wainwright is one of those contrary bastards...

Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright Lyrics
Rufus Wainwright - April Fools Lyrics
Oh what a shame that your pockets did bleed on St. Valentine's
And you sat in a chair thinking boy I'm such a prince!
Well, life's a train that goes from February on day by day
But it's making a stop on April first
Rufus Wainwright - Sallyann Lyrics
My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann just barely
That while walkin' through town only my heart did hear him
In views of the city
There ain't many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty
Rufus Wainwright - Millbrook Lyrics
The boys and girls of Millbrook
Are on the train from New York
Wearing new hats, shooting the shit
Deep in the heart of Dutchess County, Bounty
Rufus Wainwright - Matinee Idol Lyrics
This is the day
The day of the death
The death of the matinee idol
Still so beautiful as the angels
Rufus Wainwright - Inmyarms Lyrics
You gave me all your love in one day
You gave it all and almost faded away
Well I'm gonna take this sad unread issue
In my arms tonight
Rufus Wainwright - Imaginarylove Lyrics
Every kind of love, or at least my kind of love
Must be an imaginary love to start with
Guess that can explain the rain, waiting walking game
Schubert broke my brain to start with
Rufus Wainwright - Dannyboy Lyrics
Your skin is cold, but the sun shines within your hold
Your hair is gold, but you see through a goldfish bowl
I feel old, sick and tired
We walk the streets, gently staring, wondering what to do
Rufus Wainwright - Damned Ladies Lyrics
Desdemona, do not go to sleep
Brown eyed Tosca, don't believe the creep
I see it in his eyes
Rufus Wainwright - Beautymark Lyrics
I never had it, I never wanted it, I never had your
Beauty mark
Nor did I have your black hair and hazel eyes
My early childhood was not as simple as yours set in the country
Rufus Wainwright - Barcelona Lyrics
The summer sun set a vicious circus
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill in my apartment's coolest place
Fuggi regal fantasima
Rufus Wainwright - Baby Lyrics
Nothing so bright
Nothing so smooth
Nothing so pure
As my baby
Rufus Wainwright - Foolish Love Lyrics
I don't want to hold you
And feel so helpless
I don't want to smell you
And lose my senses
