Leonard Cohen - The third invention
Tekst :
Blindly he workedAt his third invention
Taking the chances
Of one who is lost
Feeling his way
To a cleaner expression
Of whatever it was
He stumbled across
All for the sake
Of a possible woman
He goaded himself
With a technical hope
For the sake of his longing
We came to the window
He put on his cloths
And he walked through the smoke
All for the sake
Of an interested woman
Riding to him
On a flicker of hope
Some tourist of beauty
In full disappointment
Ready to fall
In love with a ghost
And here was his ghost
With his third invention
The usual claim
To the highest reward
And now it was ready
His third invention
Ready to fall
In love with the world
And he falls back
And she comes forward
The eye of his labour
Measures them both
And she lies in the arms
Of his third invention
And back in his room
He commences the fourth
This is the work
Of the highest pretension
An automatic
Ode to the world
O deep in comfort
O full employment
He s lost to the fourth
He s lost to the third.
Inne utwory
Losowe utwory
The land of plenty
Don’t really have the courage
To stand where I must stand.
Don’t really have the temperament
To lend a helping hand.
Don’t really know who sent me
To raise my voice and say:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine...
To stand where I must stand.
Don’t really have the temperament
To lend a helping hand.
Don’t really know who sent me
To raise my voice and say:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine...
Punk by numbers
I tried to fix the
cooker in the kitchen
Gas was coming out of every hole
Everything was leaking, reeking always
So I went down to the office of the dole
Away...they said
You ve got to get yourself
Away...they said
You ve got to get yourself away from...

Prosta rzecz
Prosta rzecz ,śnić ten sen ,tak niewinnie jak marzyciel
Życie jak mecz ,jeden mecz ,który ważniejszy jest niż życie
Spójrz na niebo ,poczuj siebie ,zanim złapiesz oddech
Daj się ponieść tym marzeniom ,które żyją w tobie
Nie zastanawiaj się więc ,czasu mamy coraz mniej ,czasu mamy coraz mniej.
Hej hej...

I wish that
Oh
I wish that
This world was one world
I wish that
Love ruled on this Earth
That everyone would try
Try to take some time to show
Some kindness
That every life would be
A life that knows
No loneliness
This is my wish
And I wish that
There would be no wars
And I wish that
No one had to hurt no more
And...

Rocking machine
A-one, two, buckle my blues...
I m making it this time
I m making it this time
I m making it this time around
Before I lose my mind again
Before I lose my mind
At times she rules my mind
I sit here marking time
Well, I m well in with the rockin machine
Put me down,...
