romantical man
rufus wainwright
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 at liberty
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
cause i'm a roman- romantical man
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
but the temperature is rising
the forests they are dying
i'm a roman- romantical man
tonight the ship will set sail from the sand
sarah siddons overlooking the motorway.
