Chords with lyrics
____________________
/ Rufus Wainwright / Here's Rufus' comment on this song on the bonus disc
/ Perfect Man / of the album:
/ Out of the Game / "Perfect Man; I've written it for Neil Tennant,
/___________________/ actually, from the Pet Shop Boys. He thought it had too
many chords in it, which, you know, maybe he was right.
But Mark insisted that we keep trying, and now it's, I don't know; there's
something about that track, which once again is... He saw a certain brilliance
in that. And other people are picking up on it as well. The other thing that's
very important about it; it's a lovely opportunity for Martha my sister to sing
back-up. She's on every one of my records, except for Lulu. But it does have a
lot of chords. There's a lot of chords in that song. And I have to learn them... Again."

Verse:
“After another production of "The Flying Dutchman"
I landed in Berlin
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
And wonder what state I'm in
Sissi was the anarchist empress of Austria
And I was in the same state that she was in
Thinking over it over it how can I get over it
And where the hell's that fan”

Verse:
“After another induction to the hall of famine
I closed the magazine
Thinking over and over it how can I get over it
And be German and mean
Jenny was a pirate and Jane was beheaded and Nina was a sweet nymphomaniac
And with them in my corner I'm sure that it's a tall order
To find that perfect man”

Bridge:
“That literary, lean, stripe suited lover
I've read about all of my life
Which I fear is a ruse and explains
All the walks through all the parks of Europe
And why I never will tell you "I love you"
And why there is just but
A augmentedA vision of perfect man”
