Leonard Cohen - The future
Tekst :
Give me back my broken nightmy mirrored room, my secret life
it s lonely here,
there s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that s an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that s left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I ve seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
You don t know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I m the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I ve seen the nations rise and fall
I ve heard their stories, heard them all
but love s the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It s over, it ain t going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil s riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There ll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There ll be phantoms
There ll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You ll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don t like children anyhow
I ve seen the future, baby:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
When they said REPENT REPENT ...
Inne utwory
Losowe utwory
A song for the lonely
(This is) A Song for the lonely
When you re standing on the edge of nowhere
There s only one way up so your heart s got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war they live forever
When you re standing on the edge of nowhere
There s only one way up so your heart s got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war they live forever
Dancing your dreams
A prima ballerina, that s what I want to be.
When I dance and close my eyes,
This is what I see,
Chorus
White feathers, princess crowns,
Satin shoes, and gorgeous gowns,
I ll be Cinderella and you can be a queen
Spin on a snowflake or reach across moon beams
Bright as the starlight, or that s...

John Henry lives
Hear the whistle blow far off
In the still night without stars
See the tracks laid flat with a hammer s might
They re the spike driver s scars
They re the spike driver s scars
By the railroad ties there a hammer lies it s all painted in red
It s all painted in...
In the still night without stars
See the tracks laid flat with a hammer s might

Dream in color
Ooh, hoo...yeah
Mmm, hmm
Tired of living life in black and white
There’s so much in between
Like a rainbow in the sky
Waiting to be seen
When i open my eyes to find inspiration
I search for the best i can see
If i settle for less
I won’t be the best i can be
When i dream, i...
