I remember seeing this go out as part of the BBC coverage of Glastonbury at the time I can not believe it’s now been 24 years, where has the time gone… A true timeless song. Thank you
Just curious if anyone knows. Is it three books or one he suggests? I always assumed it was three, but now I'm not so sure. Nonetheless, "Adios Kansas" has been in my vernacular for years, and i have never been to Kansas! fantastic performance
Watched this when it was first broadcast, sitting up late with a mate when I was 16 years old. Touched me then and touches me now. Still my favourite song.
If Rufus had started his career in the present he would have been regarded as the new Elton John. As he has stated and I agree that his sexuality hindered his mainstream success in 1998…if it would’ve been 2018 it would be a different story
so glad to hear him play this solo live - it's how I want to learn it. There are so my dynamics and superlatives in this: joy, desperation, longing, compulsion, self-deprecating humor, drugs, very cool rhymes - totally a cabaret piece de resistance
It is proof that you dont really need anything else than your ability.Long live Rufus welove ❤ u round the world.Thank u for everything you ve done for music .
Change the locks on the door. Put out the light in the hall. I do not live here anymore Put the world in a box. Turn the sign to the street. Aim for where horizon and blue skies, meet But all I know is I'm not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet I've been a gifted thief Stole everything for the cause I never had fingers as light as yours So wake up pretty girl See the hope in small things Disappointment can wear you thin But all I know is I'm not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I'm hopeful yet And I'll raise this glass of wine And I'll say your name So let's be killers babe Make the great escape From all the bitter words Of every crowded street and empty heart It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory Drunk on velvet wine, southern cross for light Deal your cards and hope that I can play a better hand this time
[Lyrics] Cigarettes and chocolate milk These are just a couple of my cravings Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me If I should buy jellybeans Have to eat them all in just one sitting Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me And then there's those other things Which for several reasons we won't mention Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger A little bit harder A little bit deadly It isn't very smart Tends to make one part So brokenhearted Sitting here remembering me Always been a shoe made for the city Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places With scrappy boys faces have general run of the town Playing with prodigal sons Takes a lot of sentimental Valiums Can't expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy While running on empty you little old doll with a frown You got to keep in the game Retaining mystique while facing forward I suggest a reading of a Lesson in Tightropes Or Surfing Your High Hopes or Adios, Kansas It isn't very smart Tends to make one part So brokenhearted Still there's not a show on my back Holes or a friendly intervention I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish A little bit Tower of Pisa Whenever I see ya So please be kind if I'm a mess Cigarettes and chocolate milk Cigarettes and chocolate milk
