Rufus Wainwright - Go Or Go Ahead Lyrics

I LOVE this man and his music!

Thank you for the bitter knowledge
Guardian angels who left me stranded
It was worth it, feeling abandoned
Makes one hardened but what has happened to love

You got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evening looking at the stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars

Then what has happened to love
So I will opt for the big white limo
Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love

You see over me, I'll never know
What you have shown to other eyes
Go or go ahead and surprise me
Say you've lead the way to a mirage

Go or go ahead and just try me
Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows

But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify
This unholy notion of the mythic power of love
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes

Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Go or go ahead

Dammit I thought for many years it wa "Gooooo ah go to hell!" Instead of "Go or go ahead"

Fucking masterpiece!! ❤

It is probably my favorite song of him. I was so happy to hear in Handsome Devil, i think that's what made me like the movie. I'm actually crying because this song is so beautiful, i'd even call it a masterpiece.❤❤❤

I thought I loved Robbie Williams but Rufus is him only better>>>>right?

Beeootiful song..beautiful voice!

Handsome Devil

Thank you for the bitter knowledge
Guardian angels who left me stranded
It was worth it, feeling abandoned
Makes one hardened but what has happened to love
You got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evening looking at the stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars
Then what has happened to love
So I will opt for the big white limo
Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love
You see over me, I'll never know
What you have shown to other eyes
Go or go ahead and surprise me
Say you've lead the way to a mirage
Go or go ahead and just try me
Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows
But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify
This unholy notion of the mythic power of love
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Go or go ahead

Absolutely. 100%. Breathtaking.

fantastic song, one of the best, wish it were re-recorded with better balance between the bass and treble.

Yes, it is.

Amazing song, never get tired of it! :-D

Dope song to belt to and remind you of the sad truth of love and its value loss with bittersweet reassurance that love hasn't lost it's meaning but is now much harder to find and much more difficult to work at and cultivate.
