The Art Teacher Lyrics

Rufus Wainwright

There I was in uniform Lookin' at the art teacher I was just a girl then Never have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum He asked us what our favorite work of art was But never could I tell him, it was him
Oh, I wish, I could tell him Oh, I wish, I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts I liked the John Singer Sargents He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said I married an executive company head All this having been done, a Turner, I own one And here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing Thinkin' of the art teacher
I was just a girl then Never have I loved since then No, never have I loved any other man
