Il genio si vede fin da piccoli . Era il 1988 quando un allora dodicenne Rufus interpretava il carismatico leader di una band di teenagers nel film Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller.
La canzone è "I'm A-Running". Non riesco a smettere di chiedermi come potrebbe cantarla adesso, ormai trentenne.

Lyrics

I'm a-runnin'
I'm a-runnin' from you
'Cause you're a-chasin'
You're a-chasin' me to
The end of the earth
Or the city of kingdom come

I can see ya
I can see you way back
You can see me
You're gonna stab me in the back
But not unless
I can outrun you

Well, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all

I can see you
You're a bullet in flight
I'm a-runnin'
Through a star in the night
That will never shine
Upon this darkened earth

Oh, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all

Over mountain
Over valley and sea
I'm a-runnin'
So that you can't catch me
And if the gods are there
They will pull me through

Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all

Runnin' away from you
Runnin' away from you
