Waiting For A Want is Rufus Wainwright's first EP, released electronically via iTunes on June 29, 2004. At the time it was released, this collection of songs previewed Wainwright's forthcoming album, Want Two. Initially planned to be released shortly after Want One, after plans of a double-album fell through, the purchase of DreamWorks by Interscope delayed the release of Want Two. Therefore, the EP provided fans with new material as they waited for the new album to arrive.

[edit] Track listing

  1. "The Art Teacher"
  2. "Gay Messiah"
  3. "This Love Affair"
  4. "Waiting for a Dream"

The version of "The Art Teacher" is slightly different from the version that would appear on Want Two and does not feature the overdubbed trumpet solo.
