RUFUS WAINWRIGHT LYRICS - Little Sister

"Little Sister"



Little sister come and sit beside me, beside me

And we'll play a tune on this old piano, forte

Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while

'Til your hair becomes a powdered wig

And I become a total bastard

Feet that hardly reach the pedal

Sewn to a tremendous shadow



Ave, ave, history is on my side

So complain have no shame

And remember that your brother is a boy



Though it seems the stakes contain some integrity



We all feel it still is based on good old intrigue

Just for a while, just for a while, just for a while

You may have to use your hips as fodder

Still putting your best foot forward

Madame didn't stack the cupboard ended up like Mother Hubbard

Ave, but hey, history is still a game

So complain have no shame and remember that round one has just been played



And you are poised for centuries to claim

Follow examples from no longer a choice

The world be just a ball to pass or gaze upon



And one more thing

Before we go on again

Let's end this maze

Keep out the threat of a kid

Oh my little, little sister
