- My all time favorite song ever (and equally very difficult to obtain!)
Lyrics:
A bit of you the only drug I must abuse
A bit of you is the only substance I cannot refuse
When I walk on Spring
Beneath the stench a bit of you is all I smell
Upon the shelves a bit of you I ask "they sell?"
When I walk on Spring
Cause there ain't no style
No there ain't no style
Cause there ain't no style
And in fact there is just one other problem
You live up in Harlem
Of course I had no knowledge of this at the time
That came après July on the Upper West Side
Waiting for the fall
When from the Battery on up to your front door
From mother ship the rocket launching twister whores
Would blow up it all
Cause there ain't no style...
And in fact there is just one other problem
I would have spared Harlem
Affections sent, straight to Chekov, say you need me
Don't you need me, wait I thought we're on Broadway
No, my daddy said so: "still outside of Moscow"
And so the days creep up to my big final show
And not a word from you, an hour I must blow
So I walk and see
Upon the streets a faded island, press on eyes
A big old pool of you's, zillions I realize
And just one of me
Cause there ain't no style...
You've infected Harlem
Guess I won't be waiting several hours
Before nightfall for that A train,
just the hiss of the dumes band play.
Fantastic Song! Amazing Genial Rufus
I was one of one of the ones in love with this in 2000, the first year of the popular downloading programmes. And I have never been able to obtain it ever since. Thank you!
I'm in love with this song, wish it was more easily available, wish I could hear him sing it again. That whole "affections sent" part is just gorgeous.
This is one of my favourite songs by Rufus Wainwright! Wish it was more easily available.
Wait, let me correct my above comment: it’s definitely my favourite. :)
I don´t need more than 2 seconds to love RW´s songs.
..his voice is like honey..dripping on every word.....sweet...soothing..sensual..
I have unhealthy obsession over this song. I am even listening it on iPod (for 15th time in a row) while i am writing this.
Rufus must stay Rufus! The young Rufus was the best!
True!
Saw Rufus up close @ a Christmas party two years ago. Tonight I see him @ Davies Symphony Hall, 10th row center in San Francisco. I feel like a kid again and it's Christmas eve. He's enormously talented.
OMG. I love finding Rufus treasures like this! Thank you!
he's just...amazing I don't know what else to say!
Great singer and composer!!!!!
I LOVE this song. Thanks.
Really interesting song.At 2.25 the twangy guitars and then the sort of bandshow Glenn Miller sound. Very clever. Love it Rufus. xo
whoaaa this is rufus at his highest caliber. and unlike other songs on his s/t that are musically quite good, i have no qualms with the recording. now i gotta find this japan release
Thank You, abitofyou! This is beautiful!
Thanks very much for posting this song! In Belgium it was not on the album, his first, titleless one. ):-( Weird no? I know in Italy it was, my Italian friend and great Rufus fan told me and shared it with me on Myspace.
Threatening and threateningly good!!
Thanks for posting this! One of my favourites :-)
very good, his singing in this is highly reminiscent of Thom Yorke's
love it love it love it
Amazing song.
thanks for posting this!
Anyone know who is singing backup on this? I know it's not Martha but sounds a bit like her!
Ahhh Ruffy Baby :D " .. Rocket launching twister whores.." Epic. X
Me too, i tried to buy the album in Japan in June but to no avail :(
