Cover art for Baby lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

The song has a very sad and somber tone to it. I believe a read somewhere that is about one of Rufus' lovers, who was a drug addict. Hence, "you bring along your needles." You can check it out on Rufus' website. And he should know. I mean, hell, he wrote the song.
