Rufus Wainwright - Between My Legs Lyrics






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

Rufus Wainwright Between My Legs Comments
  1. I.... ....

    Magnifique voix Rufus et il est si beau ça ne gâche rien!

  2. K.... L....

    "Like a breast that you can suckle." I honestly thought he said "Like a prostitute can suckle"

  3. L.... F....

    This song is just amazing!

  4. j.... ....

    Rufus. You are beautiful.

  5. K.... D....

    Yes, yes,yes, his eyes…but what are their natural color?? I mean they look blue, but in some pictures they look brown but in some videos they look green. Does he wear contacts? My mom thinks they're hazel or green. The Lulu album doesn't give a good answer but because he's my favorite singer, it'd be cool if he had green eyes because I do too haha!

  6. M.... H....

    who else came here from one man guy

    M.... H....

    MariaSaysHi One Man Guy was a sweet book - I read it twice. Not such a fan of the style, but the plot is compelling and the main character is so endearing.

    M.... H....

    Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

  7. T.... ....

    music at its keenest and best, you reached my pitch, you prince.

  8. A.... ....

    Cool video!

  9. R.... C....

    Love the bit of Phantom of the Opera at the end of this awesome awesome song. Great vid w/ really wonderful pics. Most of all, love love love Rufus.

    R.... C....

    Fun fact: That's not Phantom of the Opera, that's a Pink Floyd riff that Phantom of the Opera stole.

  10. m.... ....

    I like it!

  11. K.... C....

    Hes a fantastic artist as well.

  12. K.... C....

    This sounds so weird, but he is sooooooooooo hot!!!!!

  13. T.... ....

    Me too!  What lovely eyes.

  14. J.... W....

    rufus love you

  15. M.... S....

    I could stare at this beautiful man for hours

  16. D.... D....

    This video gave me seizure.

    D.... D....

    its like the editor didnt want ppl to watch this vid.

  17. J.... M....

    that is ... too many pictures

  18. T.... ....

    Rufus is such a talent!  Love this song.

  19. N.... C....

    I adore this singer...

  20. M.... L....

    Glad she agreeeees... lol

  21. A.... P....

    muahahahaha xD

  22. P.... v....

    T.S. Eliot on Dante (from 'T.S. Eliot, the poems, M. Scofield, with alterations, like replacing Dante by Wainwright)
    "Wainwright [..] as the supreme example of the ‘metaphysical’ poet, or one who achieves a unity of sensibility. [..] Wainwright achieves a system of thought where [others] only present the process of thinking, and transforms human feeling [..] where [others] merely express [themselves] in terms of untransformed human feelings." B.t.w. this video might as well be the official one.

  23. c.... ....

    2:41 is what heaven must sound like

  24. F.... M....

    this should be hugeee!!!!

  25. c.... b....

    Seductive vocals and an UPBEAT sound, still listening to that voice is a pleasure

  26. R.... R....

    Sometimes I wish I were a gay man

    R.... R....

    Don't, it's shit.

  27. M.... C....

    He's very eccentric, which is what makes him such a good performer. Doesn't hurt that he's a cutie!

  28. J.... ....

    Tchaikovsky, Proust, Woolf, etc etc...

  29. S.... T....

    No Youtube for a week means no Rufus to watch! How will I survive? Got some CD's but need to watch him, too! :)

  30. S.... T....

    Love the way he sings this! Love all the images! Love Rufus! Thanks for posting! :)

  31. t.... ....

    Rufus has a voice like no one else in the world. Its so unique. And his clothes are so great.His face is so beautiful. I swear he could be an Angel.

  32. s.... ....

    It was me...I have over 240 videos on my regular channel, but I couldn't put this one there because of copyright. Thanks for the compliment...I love this song so much and love Rufus so much I HAD to do this. It was time consuming, but I had to do it. Thanks again, my fellow Rufus Lover. :)

  33. N.... Q....

    Rufus can a turn a striaght man gay!
    Kudos to the uploader - Great job at the editing.

  34. m.... ....

    I sooo agree!!!!

  35. p.... ....

    Rufus IS a Tit Man, after all

  36. J.... R....

    LOL, that's funny.

  37. T.... ....

    A rather silly comment from you concerning suckling the breast. Just because he's gay doesn't mean he, and probably thousands of other gays, weren't nursed as infants. Does being gay mean he can't write about such things? Absurd!

  38. T.... ....

    Not only does he write and produce beautiful music, he is BEAUTIFUL to just look at!

  39. T.... ....

    One of Rufus' sexiest songs, by far. Every time he says "between my legs" I envision all sorts of x-rated things! What a talented man!

  40. b.... s....

    Wow, luckily I don't have epilepsy! Great, flashy video

  41. L.... a....

    LOL I cant believe how many ppl didn't know he is gay...he's totally open...interviews concerts and ummm...his lyrics Not that it matters, he's a musical genious

  42. S.... B....

    @QUIROPTEROHOLLOW Yeah.. not that it matters

  43. L.... L....

    is that the phantom of the opera song in the end?

  44. O.... N....

    wait...Rufus is gay?

  45. A.... ....

    @paulc68 You're kidding, right? (the lucky baby daughter has a mommy and two daddies)

  46. P.... l....

    sorry to let you no he might not be as gay as you thought thats show busness hes had a baby daughter , well done rufus , tell uncle loudon I love him , Alana maureen xxx

  47. O.... B....

    great video! :D

  48. t.... ....

    He's too too beautiful...

  49. s.... ....

    @SimoneGiggles +1 for the gays <3

  50. A.... ....

  51. R.... B....

  52. A.... P....

    Ah my darling Rufus, this is one of my top five songs of his <3

  53. s.... ....

    @handsdown101 I hope they do! If not, they are deaf!

  54. h.... ....

    Does anybody else hear Phantom of the Opera from 4:00 on?

  55. h.... ....

    Video gave me epilepsy! O,o But whoo he is sexyyyyy and his voice makes me shiver.

  56. E.... v....

    is this somebody how is trying to imited Lou Reed?

  57. A.... B....

    I love this - a great presentation :)

  58. D.... ....

    Who cares about his sexuality, the guy is hot as hell and wonderfully talented as well

  59. D.... ....

    god I'm starting to love this man.
    I know I'm a little slow but it's never too late to find an amazing artist :)
    THNX german Rolling Stone for mentioning him in every issue xD

  60. K.... ....

    Man,a video with a minor rate(and slowly) of transitions into the images could be fine too

  61. W.... ....

    @vanillasoleil84 well, almost every human sucks breast at some point in their lives :)

  62. g.... ....

    Great song. I find the video too bright and distracting.

  63. t.... ....

    it is part of the song

    "there is a river, running underground, underneath the town towards the sea,
    that only i know all about, on which from this city we can flea"

  64. J.... ....

    I love this song, I love Rufus, but good grief, does he look like a slut sometimes. haha. I saw him in concert, it was heaven!

  65. A.... ....
