[00:01.40]Rufus Wainwright - Chelsea Hotel No.2
[00:05.91]
[00:12.10]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[00:18.21]you were talking so brave and so sweet,
[00:24.88]giving me head on the unmade bed,
[00:30.55]while the limousines wait in the street.
[00:35.22]
[00:37.08]Those were the reasons and that was New York,
[00:42.05]we were running for the money and the flesh.
[00:48.31]And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:54.23]probably still is for those of them left.
[01:00.22]Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[01:05.92]you just turned your back on the crowd,
[01:12.23]you got away, I never once heard you say,
[01:18.20]I need you, I don't need you,
[01:24.21]I need you, I don't need you
[01:29.92]and all of that jiving around.
[01:35.69]
[01:39.09]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:45.18]you were famous, your heart was a legend.
[01:50.76]You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:56.46]but for me you would make an exception.
[02:02.46]And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[02:07.81]who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
[02:14.56]you fixed yourself, you said,
[02:18.13]"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
[02:25.70]
[02:26.33]Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[02:32.50]you just turned your back on the crowd,
[02:38.84]you got away, I never once heard you say,
[02:45.17]I need you, I don't need you,
[02:50.87]I need you, I don't need you
[02:57.05]and all of that jiving around.
[03:02.72]
[03:06.14]I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
[03:11.98]I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
[03:17.94]I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[03:24.02]that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
