1.Do I Disappoint You
Do I disappoint you,
in just being human？
And not one of the elements,
that you can light your cigar on
Why does it always have to be fire？
Why does it always have to be brimstone？
Desire
Cool this body down
Do I disappoint you,
in just being lonely？
And not one of the elements
that you can call your one and only
Why does it always have to be water？
Why does it always have to be holy wine？
Destruction
Of all mankind
And do I disappoint you？
Do I disappoint you in just being like you？
Rufus Wainwright-Do I Disappoint You？
Tired of being the reason
the road has a shoulder
And it could be argued,
why they all return to the order
Why does it always have to be chaos？
Why does it always have to be wanderlust？
Sensational
I'm gonna smash your bloody skull.
'Cause, baby, no,
you can't see inside
No, baby, no,
you can't see my soul
Do I disappoint you？
Do I disappoint you？
Rufus Wainwright-Do I Disappoint You？
2.Going To A Town
I'm going to a town
that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place
that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks
who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America
I'm gonna make it up
for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up
for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem
to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America
Making my own way home,
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
Tell me,
do you really think
you go to hell for having loved？
Tell me,
enough of thinking
everything that you've done is good
I really need to know,
after soaking the body
of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America
I really need to know
I may just never see you again,
or might as well
You took advantage of a world
that loved you well
I'm going to a town
that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America
Making my own way home,
ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need
Making my own way home,
ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already been burnt down
3.Tiergarten
Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten？
Won't you walk me through it all, darling？
Doesn't matter if it is raining
Won't you walk me through it all？
Even if the sun, it is blazing
Even if the snow, it is raging
All the elements, we must conquer
To get to the other side of town
I have suffered shipwreck
against your dark brown eyes
I have run aground
against your broken down smiles
Believe me when I tell you
I have no place to go
But to go where the wild flowers grow
and the stone gardens bloom.
Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten？
Won't you walk me through it all, darling？
Doesn't matter if it is raining,
We'll get to the other side of town.
4.Nobody's Off The Hook
Haven't fallen down in a while
Sitting here walking the line
Well that's ok, I ain't no book
'Cause nobody's off the hook
See you looking so sad
Trying to live your life in style
Well that's ok, you ain't no crook
'Cause nobody's off the hook
I remember you when,
looking like a teenager
How you have become a man with all the power
Running the moon aground
Who would ever have thought,
anging with a homo and hairdresser
You would become the one
desired in every woman's heart
But you never will lose,
your heart with those little boys
Haven't fallen down in a while,
sitting here walking the line
Well that's ok, 'cause I have looked
And nobody's off the hook
Rufus Wainwright-Nobody's Off the Hook
'Cause life will take that little heart,
and bring you to your knees
Threatening to break it
for the final time
And you'll believe it,
yes, you will believe it
But look, nobody's off the hook
Rufus Wainwright-Nobody's Off the Hook
5.Between My Legs
You can go out, dancing
And I'll write about you,
dancing without you
And I'll shed a tear
between my legs
When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away,
I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs
Though we live in the same city,
You live in another state far away from me
and all of my unfaded charms
But when the rocket ships all fall,
and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up
their station wagons
There's a number you can call,
like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit
as it all is happening
Again, I'm afraid of one thing,
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing,
wearing my heart between my legs？
But when I know you're naked,
lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
All I can say is I can't fake it
When the rocket ships all fall,
and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up
their station wagons
There's a number you can call,
like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit
as it all is happening again
'Cause there's a river running underground,
underneath the town towards the sea,
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
On which from this city we can flee
6.Rules And Regulations
I will never be as cute as you,
according to the board of human relations
I will never fly as high as you,
according to the board of public citations
These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds, and the bees
The earth, and the trees,
Not to mention the gods,
not to mention the gods
All my little life I've wanted to roam
Even if it was just inside my own home
Then one little day I chanced to look back
Saw you sittin' there, being a sad culprit
These are just the rules and regulations
Of the birds, and the bees
The earth, and the trees,
Not to mention the gods,
not to mention the gods
These are just the rules and regulations
Yeah, these are just the rules and regulations
And I like every one, yes I like every one
Must follow them
7.Not Ready To Love
I'm not ready to love,
I'm not ready for peace
I'm givin' up the dove to the beast
I'm not ready to surrender
to another glove murderer
I'm not ready to love,
I'm not ready to to fly
I'm givin' up bleed in the sky
So you can take my sin
in up above on high, say goodbye
I'm not ready to love,
I'm not ready to love
I'm not ready to love
until I'm ready to love you
the way you should be loved
Until I'm ready to hold you
the way you should be held
You should be held,
but I'm not ready to
8.Slideshow
Do I love you
because you treat me so indifferently？
Or is it the medication？
Or is it me？
Do I love you
because you don't want me to rub your back？
Or is it the medication？
Or is it you？
Or is it true？
And I better be prominently
featured in your next slideshow
Because I paid a lot of money
to get you over here, you know？
And if I am not prominently
featured in your next slideshow
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Do I love you,
or is this feeling just a little pain？
A treasure chest is broken easily open
And usually I am such a happy prince
Behind the iron curtain,
the city walls a solid prison
And I better be prominently
featured in your next slideshow
'Cause I paid a lot of money
to get you over here, you know？
And if I am not prominently
featured in your next slideshow
I don't know what I'm gonna do!
Do I love you？
Do I love you？
Yes I do
Do I love you？
Yes I do
Do I love you？
Yes I do
9.Tulsa
You taste of potato chips in the morning
Your face has the Marlon Brando club calling
And who would have thought
that I'd owe it all to Tulsa？
And that fat guy with the green shirt
that we both signed together
Once he hears the song,
won't live it down forever
Your suit was the whitest thing
since you-know-who
I fear that that savior
I mentioned may be you
And who would have thought
that I'd owe it all to Tulsa？
And that poor girl
who waited in the rain
for hours to meet me
(not you, baby!)
Once she hears that song,
won't live it down completely
And I owe it all to Tulsa, Oklahoma
This is just a reminder of the antique shop
that I want to go back to and visit when it's open
In Tulsa, Oklahoma
Just in case you
don't appreciate this song about you!
10.Leaving For Paris No.2
I'm leaving for Paris
No I don't think that I'll see you
I'm leaving for Paris
No I don't think that I need to
So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself
I pray you won't follow
Through the crooked streets behind me
I pray you won't follow
Like so many who I've roamed there
So I'm leaving for Paris
Don't you try to find out where I am
Just you try to take care of yourself
I'm where I get there
I'll leave you sin gave me
I'm where I get there
I'm happy I'm landing
So I'm leaving for Paris
Don't you try to find out where I am
Just you try to take care of yourself
'Cause I'm leaving
Yes I'm leaving
'Cause I'm leaving
Yes I'm leaving for Paris
Goodbye
11.Sanssouci
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight？
The boys that made me lose the blues tonight,
and then my eyesight
All together, playing games of cards
Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight？
I'm lookin' through the window from the garden
Waitin' for the call to my hotel room
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight？
Surely not the one that loves me truly, only
He's probably down at the stables, there
Gently polishing my cabriolet, only
I don't care, I really want to go
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom
Callin' up some dude from my hotel room
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
Tonight, tonight...
The candles seem to all have been blown out
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about
Could it be I came to the wrong place？
But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet mystery
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight？
It's only when you're outside that you notice
Only from the window you can see them
Once the door is open, all will vanish
Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight
Tonight, tonight
12.Release The Stars
Why do you keep all your stars in
from your studio on Melrose Avenue？
You've lost all your assets
in life-long contracts to you
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over？
Oh, can't you see all the good
that celebrity can do for those in the dark？
Yes of course,
I am speaking in metaphors
for something more in your heart
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over？
So why not just release the gates
and let them all come out？
Remember that without them
there would be no Paramount
No paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours
Release the stars
Rufus Wainwright-Release the Stars
The more that you fight,
then the more they will scrutinize
and realize just your size
And believe me,
you are no match for the public
that has seen no ex-so right
Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over？
Old Hollywood is over
So why not just release the gates
and let them all come out？
Remember that without them
there would be no Paramount
No paramount need to hold on
to what isn't yours
Release the stars
Release the stars,
release your love,
release the stars
Release your love,
'cause Hollywood is over
Why do you keep all your stars in
from your studio on Melrose Avenue？
