Lyrics:

You're comin' tonight
To my hometown
I've been to yours many times before
And it's always been a thrill

You'll stay in a hotel
Or at friends near by
We haven't spent the night together in this town
Since nineteen seventy nine
Not such a long time

I can steal a melody
Of this, I am allowed
'Cause you would never sue me baby
It wouldn't look good, it'd be weird

Have a drink after the show
I might really want to know
But everything you say I oppose
I blame it on my hole
It's just my role

I spend my time, trying to forget you
With booze and smoke from cigarettes and dope
I only seem to forget myself
It's only you that is left

I can steal a melody
Of this I am allowed
'Cause you would never sue me baby
I can steal a melody
This I am allowed
You would never sue me baby
It wouldn't look good, it'd be weird
It'd be weird, it'd be weird

You're comin' tonight
To my hometown

Look at them legs!

Hmm, looks like after Rufus inherited all the talent in the family, there wasn't any left over for the other Wainwright children.

This woman has a seriously annoying voice. I felt generous and gave this song a 3. It seems I'm not alone.

She's become one of my favorites. Her stylings are unique; takes some time to get used to them, but, once you do, well, the emotions and lyrics transcend. She knows how to sell it all. I'll let this one sit for a while, and see how it hits me later on, after several more listens. That cover looks somewhat like the one from Sam Phillips' Martinis and Bikinis
