Rufus Wainwright ~ Peaceful Afternoon
To give this song the proper honour it deserves, instead of my "upset" post weeks ago. I feel his words standalone without needing of introduction, but having seen it live in person, in his first performance of it, was beautiful. Brought about a tear from my soul; as he had been a reckless twat in his ways, he'll even acknowledge, in the song..... "a fecund source for anger"

Well it's coming onto 13 years together, babe
I pray that it's the luck... a lucky, lucky number
And although I know I've brought you joy and happiness, babe
I've also been a fec... a fecund resource for anger
'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
And now that our machine is running at full steam
I pray that nothing shucks a wrench into the matter
But between sex and death and tryin' to keep the kitchen clean
Remember wild the roses bloom best in ruins forever after
'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
Leaving the living room
Yeah, it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
And just in case you go before me
Rest assured that of this I can guarantee
That my face, that my face is the last you'll see
On a peaceful afternoon
Leaving the living
Living room
