Rufus Wainwright - Greek Song Lyrics
you who were born with the sun above your shoulders
you turn me on, you turn me on
you have to know
you who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
you turn me on, you turn me on
you who were born there where beauty is existence
you turn me on, you turn me on
your body heals my soul
you who were born where you shiver and you shudder
you turn me on
the girl is gone
so come on, let's go
all the pearls of china fade astride a volta
save your poison for a lover who is on your side
one way is Rome and the other way is mecca
on either side
on either side of our motorbike
one way is home and the other way is papa
on either side
on either side, prepared to strike
When i get back i will dream in barnes & nobles
oh leave me here
oh leave me where angels fear to tread
when i get back i will bleed after my beating
don't leave me here
don't leave me here I'm scared to death
all the pearls of china fade astride a volta
don't sew bee-lines to anybody's hide
save your poison for a lover who is on your side

Got 5th row seats for his concert this month in Malaga.. wohoooooooo
In love with this song
An amazing album.
Amazing ...Never gets old.
This song is *delicious*
at his best
It's interesting how it's called "greek Song" yet it has such a Chinese influence in the instrumentation.
I never understood the relation!
i love u rufus ur name means red hair n u moved the feelings inside my red heart
Gorgeous. So emotive and classy
Masterpiece: musical and poetically word's
I so love this wonderful song. Thanks for the excellent download
This has got to be one of my favorite Rufus songs. It applies to anybody who takes a risk doing something they really want to do, regardless of the consequences. It is a beautiful song.
One of Rufus' most imaginative and affective songs. Beauty!
the dad of this guy was also a singer in the 70's?
+Gasparuccio X Yes.
His mother was also a folk artist.
Currently addicted to this song.
Does this song remind anyone else of The Satanic Verses?
amazing songs - so much born from the juice of his mum and dad - so much love and more love
For those who might not know the background: This song is about a real life encounter Rufus had with a beautiful Greek man while Rufus was travelling. The first 3 lines in each verse are Rufus' voice and the last 3 lines are the Greek guy answering him. When Rufus first saw him, the Greek guy was with a girl. He ditches her for a "fling" with Rufus. The Greek guy fears his father's retribution for having been with Rufus.
Thank you! I was really confused at first! The song is wonderful in so many ways..
Thank you! I wondered if it was something like that! Love Rufus, and the lyrics are great... pure poetry!
How do you know that?
Rufus sting
All the pearls of China fade astride a Volta...
People rarely write music like this anymore. Beautiful words!
Rufus, you turn me on to your musical style again by your magical voice ,
you remind me my Edith Piaf , Thanks for the music
Before I open my eyes in the morning, this song is playing in my head!
After listening his latest fiasco "Out of the Game" I had to remind myself that once he actually made just about the finest music out there.
No, Thank YOU for uploading!! A friend of mine introduced me to this song and I think it's just beautiful
Riri, if you see this, I adore you! :D Thanks!
Thank you! It's truly a gorgeous song!
It's Beautiful!
