A Leonard Cohen fan!

The light came through the window
Straight from the sun above
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.

BIG Leonard Cohen fan! - saw him live twice.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it
I got gloss on my lips, a man in my hips
Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, with my drink in my cup
I can care less what you think
I need no permission did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn

I'm all over it now,
And I can't say how glad I am about that,
I'm all over it now,
Cause I worked and I cursed and I cried,
And I said I could change but I lied.

[There's no sure indicator of somebody I'll get on well with, but being a Leonard Cohen fan is always a strong indicator]

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn't see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-lam)
Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-lam)
Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty
Bam-ba-laaam

Oh Mr. Porter, what shall I do?
I want to go to Birmingham
But here I am at Crewe
Take me back to London
As quickly as you can
Oh Mr. Porter what a silly girl I am.

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning
I live by the river

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and the battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing

LadyHonoriaDedlock Snap!

Great minds! Do I get a free go?

You go for it

It's coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there
From the war against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the USA

Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still Ilove you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you.

I really like it when you speak like a child
The crazy sayings like I'm so free and so wild
You have to make a bargain with me now
A promise that you won't change somehow
No way, now how
Spent all day thinking about you
Spent all night coming to terms with it
Time and conditions are sent to tame
Nothing lasts with age, so people say
But I will always try to feel the same

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road, my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to
The love you make...

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

I held her hand (I held her hand)
And she held mine (And she held mine)
We sipped and sipped (We sipped and sipped)
And sipped some more (And sipped some more)
This is the end, there is no more
Of sippin' soda through a straw

Oh, sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw
Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw

You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool,
thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
