Leonard Cohen - The old revolution

Tekst :

I finally broke into the prison,
I found my place in the chain.
Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,
all the brave young men
they re waiting now to see a signal
which some killer will be lighting for pay.
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

I fought in the old revolution
on the side of the ghost and the King.
Of course I was very young
and I thought that we were winning;
I can t pretend I still feel very much like singing
as they carry the bodies away.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture...

Lately you ve started to stutter
as though you had nothing to say.
To all of my architects let me be traitor.
Now let me say I myself gave the order
to sleep and to search and to destroy.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture...

Yes, you who are broken by power,
you who are absent all day,
you who are kings for the sake of your children s story,
the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
the hand of your lover is clay.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture...

    When the stars go blue

    [Venke Knutson]
    Dancin where the stars go blue
    Dancin where the evening fell

    [Kurt Nilsen]
    Dancin in your wooden shoes

    [Both]
    In a wedding gown

    [Both]
    Dancin out on 7th street

    [Kurt Nilsen]
    Dancin through the underground

    [Venke Knutson]
    Dancin little marionette

    [Both]
    Are you happy now?

    [Both]
    Where do you go when you re lonely
    Where do you go...

    Changed

    Uh ah ooh
    ooh

    Back when I was 4 or 3
    clouds came rushing round into my sunshine
    clouds got a hold of me they brought me way, way down
    clouds so my baby believed but you were not around

    So now what you trying to be
    what you trying to, trying to do to me
    you got...

    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

    Książe

    Mówił, że nie ma po co żyć
    Tłumaczył się, że nie ma nic
    Bo stracił dom i młodzieńcze sny
    Nie miał siły by opanować łzy

    Kolejny dzień nie cieszył Go
    I nie czekał na pierwszy promyk słońca
    Nie uśmiechał się, wciąż ocierał łzy
    Myślał jestem sam może jestem zły

    Radio waves

    You take me back to the familiar
    There s no way back
    But I still see you

    I m my system you begin to flow
    I n my system faces I used to know

    Radio waves
    Through the empty miles
    Radio waves
    [Through the loosen hives]
    Radio waves
    Keeps the flame alive

    Guiding us through
    Trying to get home

    I m searching through...
