Leonard Cohen - Store room

Tekst :

I love you, without caring whom you love.
My hands below the belt, or my hands above
in the arms of other men,
or in my bed again.

It s just a man,
Taking what he needs,
From the store room,
Store room, store room.

I love to see you sitting there upon your throne,
your preachers all around you
being bored, and your prophet straight and tall.
And yet they ll undermine it all.

Just a man, just a man,
taking what he needs,
from the store room,
store room, store room.

Yeah, Shakespeare said it all, then he said no more
and he left me feeling just like a two bit whore.
Well the silence broke my heart, but yes
I spread my legs apart.

It s just a man ...

?????
?????
The hermit in the Wild,
the parent in the child.

Just a man ...

Oh my love, let us unpin you,
???? you done, bringing more:
the mother and the father, the daughter and the son.
But should one refuse to come, it does not subtract the sum

It s just a man ...

It s not a (due?) of burning pounds that ruins your mind
like a spoon that you turn and you turn and you don t unwind,
Though these wars that you did not stop,
they don t tear your sleep apart.

It s just a man ...

???? that keeps you up,
What a (moon?) coming like a headlight through the window
Not the thumbnail of a screen, (?)
No best way to dream (?)

It s just a man ...

Now the woman by your side is she awake?
But there s nothing you want to give her,
and there s nothing that you really want to take.
You don t even try to prove that the noisy neighbor s making love. (?)

It s just a man ...

I love you without caring whom you love ...

Leonard Cohen - Coming back to you

Tekst :

Maybe I m still hurting
I can t turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love 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
Ah they re shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they re under lock and key
Tho the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you

And they re handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I m
Coming back to you

There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There s mayn that you ll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who ve left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you

Even in your arms I know
I ll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I ve got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I ve said was just instead of
Coming back to you

Leonard Cohen - Love calls you by your name

Tekst :

You thought that it could never happen
to all the people that you became,
your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
But here, right here,
between the birthmark and the stain,
between the ocean and your open vein,
between the snowman and the rain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.
The women in your scrapbook
whom you still praise and blame,
you say they chained you to your fingernails
and you climb the halls of fame.
Oh but here, right here,
between the peanuts and the cage,
between the darkness and the stage,
between the hour and the age,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

Shouldering your loneliness
like a gun that you will not learn to aim,
you stumble into this movie house,
then you climb, you climb into the frame.
Yes, and here, right here
between the moonlight and the lane,
between the tunnel and the train,
between the victim and his stain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

I leave the lady meditating
on the very love which I, I do not wish to claim,
I journey down the hundred steps,
but the street is still the very same.
And here, right here,
between the dancer and his cane,
between the sailboat and the drain,
between the newsreel and your tiny pain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

Where are you, Judy, where are you, Anne?
Where are the paths your heroes came?
Wondering out loud as the bandage pulls away,
was I, was I only limping, was I really lame?
Oh here, come over here,
between the windmill and the grain,
between the sundial and the chain,
between the traitor and her pain,
once again, once again,
love calls you by your name.

Losowe utwory

This is home

Close your eyes, it s easier that way
A golden cup and a toast to kings
Lost and decayed, we are cut beyond our saving
But we are home now, the room is still warm

Fell in love with an angel, a heart that isn t cold
Say goodnight, we are dying, just hold on
I...

Absolution

Across the board it seems I cannot comprehend
Why you would subjugate then act like we are friends
Makes no sense
Slaves at best
Don?t try to hide the fact that you are unaware of all our thoughts

I won?t be scared that you...

Looking for changes

I saw a cat with a machine in his brain
The man who fed him said
He didn´t feel any pain
I´d like to see that man take out that machine
And stick it in his own brain
You know what I mean

The night

I m quietly crying,
Nobody can see my tears,
Nobody can hear my sobs.

The night protects me from people s eyes,
The night is my only ally.
It silently listens to my complains,
And carefully wraps me up in its dark cloak,
It won t betray me.

The wind...

Give a little love

You re in the right groove
And you ve got the right moves
You just gotta let go - yeah
You found my soft spot
And it s getting too hot
I ve just got to let go
I ve got to let go

Of all the troubles that the...
