From across a vast galaxy of musical taste, these three young vagabonds with Scandinavian roots have collided to form a dancefolkpopindielectronica silenced explosion. Their healthy combination of live instruments and electronic production ignite - forming moments of dance floor euphoria, stomping vocal driven breakdowns and roaming lo-fi grooves.
After an extremely successful debut EP release at the start of 2011 and a thumping live show doing the rounds in Ol' Sydney town, RÜFÜS are poised for a very big year!

Sweet Thing
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just want to satisfy you
Though you're not mine
I can't deny you
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are
I wish you were my lover
But you act so undercover
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby
Don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are, yes you are
You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy you
Though you're not mine
I can't deny you
Don't you hear me talking baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy
You're the heat, you are the fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or I'll go crazy
You're the heat, you are the fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or I'll go crazy
You're the heat, you are the fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or I'll go crazy
You're the heat, you are the fire
You're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
