RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - LAST CUP OF COFFEE "hankering"

Hankering (Last Cup of Coffee)

"I got a hankering something's gonna happen
I may be wrong, but then again I may be right
There must be a reason that I have been hanging 'round
For so long in this goddamn café all night

Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news,
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over and over for you, dear
I've let them play grunge all the day,
Reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over, I belong to you...

Oh, I'll say café society ain't what it once was
If I see one more roach crossing, I'll call the whole thing off
But I think I'll stay here, right by your entrée, dear
Hopefully, as the English do
But thank God I'm reading Proust,
Remembering things of the past... or should I say le temps perdu?

Oh, I've sat and flipped yesterday's news
Refilled my cup of coffee over and over and over and
I've let them play grunge all the day
Reread 'zines, designed tattoos over and over and over and over
'Cause it's over, I belong to you..."

I never heard this song before..What a treat to find another song sung by Rufus Wainwright! Does anyone know where we could purchase this song?

[tousmesnickssontpris]

there is a studio version of Hankering in the House of Rufus box set (CD named 'Rufus Rarities'. i thought it was only a live version, but obviously that's not the case...

[seestraw89]

this is the kind of song i get stuck in my head at work and simply won't stop singing over and over again

[octogirlpretty]

I have the song.I can send it to you if ya want :)

And it's only a live song,like when he does only live versions of folk songs of the past,ya. =D
