My favourite R Wainwright song, a real timeless classic - yet to be.
The man needs the girl to help him feel wanted and loved. Without her he will resort to making "movies of myself" - reliving his memories of previous, short-lived relationships. He neccesity for her is desperate "don't you ever let go" and he desperately wants to escape himself "get me to the garden of sleep".
His wants to get away from his self-obsessed past and to not go down the same road of maeningless one night stands that have forced him to assess himself and ask himself why the girls dont want a serious relationship with him. "Oh I've seen it all before in movies of myself" He confronts his unhappy memories and tells the girl that he dosn't want the same to happen. Because if it did, it would perhaps destroy him and expose his insecurities, as identified in line one "stop me falling down" - which is his main line of argument.
An honest depiction of perhaps Rufus' love-life. He needs to be loved - and so do we all, whether or not we like to admit it.
