Subject: Lyr Add: RELEASE THE STARS (Rufus Wainwright)
Saw him on Letterman's Show, I just don't get the couple of raves here. This is the song he sang:
Release The Stars"
Why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on Melrose Avenue? You've lost all your assets ?? in life-long contracts to you Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over? Oh, can't you see all the good that celebrity can do for those in the dark? Yes of course, I am speaking in metaphors for something more in your heart Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over? So why not just release the gates and let them all come out? Remember that without them there would be no Paramount No paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours Release the stars The more that you fight, then the more they will scrutinize and realize just your size And believe me, you are no match for the public that has seen no ?? Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over? Old Hollywood is over So why not just release the gates and let them all come out? Remember that without them there would be no Paramount No paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours Release the stars Release the stars, release your love, release the stars Release your love, 'cause Hollywood is over Why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on Melrose Avenue?
Looking at other lyrics he's written-and his voice I'm wondering how & why he gets paid?
