Useless Begging Lyrics


Is that you?
Look who's on the skids this time
Bitchin' 'bout her place in line
And all you really want is attentionBut you're like every other girl uptown
Who wants to ride her face around
And wave about that power
You have to put me down
(And so I'll tell ya)To see you like this is nearly tragic
It's like Ruby says our dreams have magic
But I know useless begging won't help me
(Useless begging won't help me)Yes, it's you
You leave me nothing left to say
'Cause I thought that we'd return one day
Together to a great sphere of knowledgeBut that would never do for you
'Cause you thought you knew a thing or two
But you don't even know what is and isn't true
(And so I'll tell ya)I was a fool that's why I got burned
But in all that time there's one thing I learned

And that is useless begging won't help me
(Useless begging won't help me)To see you like this is nearly tragic
But it's just like Ruby says our dreams have magic
But I know useless begging won't help me
(Useless begging won't help me, won't help me)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
