Rufus Wainwright - Romantical Man lyrics
[Rufus Wainwright - Romantical Man lyrics]
Sarah Siddons overlooking the motorway
Paddington Green certainly isn’t what
It used to be
Got a feeling London is calling me
Or could it be that I’m
Simply trying to run away
I took the veil, I took the veil at Liberty
And bought a scarf
Now I’m fully covered ya see
But, I don’t think I can hide my ecstasy
Thinking of you up on Belsize
Park thinking of me
'Cause, I’m a roman- romantical man
Can’t be pedantic
(if you gotta look it up, the definition)
'Cause, I’m a roman- romantical man
Wish I was sarcastic but, I’m feeling it
Like every second
We’re all surrounded by shards of
Glass and not masonry
Perfectly reflecting what we don’t
Want to see and the classical critics can’t
Stand a melody i only ask what brought you
To the opera firstly
Mother can you hear me, I’m calling you!
Mother can you hear me, I’ve made it through
But the temperature is rising
The water’s high the forests they are dying
But just for tonight
I’m a roman- romantical man
Tonight the ship will set sail from the sand
Can’t be pedantic
If you gotta look it up, the definition
Wish I was sarcastic but, I’m feeling it
Like every second
Sarah Siddons overlooking the motorway
Paddington Green certainly isn’t what
It used to be
Got a feeling London is calling me
Or could it be that I’m
Simply trying to run away
I took the veil, I took the veil at Liberty
And bought a scarf
Now I’m fully covered ya see
But, I don’t think I can hide my ecstasy
Thinking of you up on Belsize
Park thinking of me
'Cause, I’m a roman- romantical man
Can’t be pedantic
(if you gotta look it up, the definition)
'Cause, I’m a roman- romantical man
Wish I was sarcastic but, I’m feeling it
Like every second
We’re all surrounded by shards of
Glass and not masonry
Perfectly reflecting what we don’t
Want to see and the classical critics can’t
Stand a melody i only ask what brought you
To the opera firstly
Mother can you hear me, I’m calling you!
Mother can you hear me, I’ve made it through
But the temperature is rising
The water’s high the forests they are dying
But just for tonight
I’m a roman- romantical man
Tonight the ship will set sail from the sand
Can’t be pedantic
If you gotta look it up, the definition
Wish I was sarcastic but, I’m feeling it
