Comprei um CD duplo com as canções de Leonard Cohen. O resultado é que estou viciada. Chego em casa, já ligo o som para ouvir Closing Time (fiquei surpresa com essa música, porque tem o tom de um bar country, mas tem toda a melancolia de Cohen) e, mais recentemente, First we take Manhattan (adoro o ar sombrio de alguns trechos misturados ao refrão dançante).Detalhe: minha mãe também adorou. Quem diria?:)Closing time(infelizmente, não consegui postar o video, mas eis o link: http://tinyurl.com/6qp4gl )Ah we're drinking and we're dancingand the band is really happeningand the Johnny Walker wisdom running highAnd my very sweet companionshe's the Angel of Compassionshe's rubbing half the world against her thighAnd every drinker every dancerlifts a happy face to thank herthe fiddler fiddles something so sublimeall the women tear their blouses offand the men they dance on the polka-dotsand it's partner found, it's partner lostand it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:it's CLOSING TIMEYeah the women tear their blouses offand the men they dance on the polka-dotsand it's partner found, it's partner lostand it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:it's CLOSING TIMEAh we're lonely, we're romanticand the cider's laced with acidand the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"And the moon is swimming nakedand the summer night is fragrantwith a mighty expectation of reliefSo we struggle and we staggerdown the snakes and up the ladderto the tower where the blessed hours chimeand I swear it happened just like this:a sigh, a cry, a hungry kissthe Gates of Love they budged an inchI can't say much has happened sincebut CLOSING TIMEI swear it happened just like this:a sigh, a cry, a hungry kissthe Gates of Love they budged an inchI can't say much has happened sinceCLOSING TIMEI loved you for your beautybut that doesn't make a fool of me:you were in it for your beauty tooand I loved you for your bodythere's a voice that sounds like God to medeclaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really youAnd I loved you when our love was blessedand I love you now there's nothing leftbut sorrow and a sense of overtimeand I missed you since the place got wreckedAnd I just don't care what happens nextlooks like freedom but it feels like deathit's something in between, I guessit's CLOSING TIMEYeah I missed you since the place got wreckedBy the winds of change and the weeds of sexlooks like freedom but it feels like deathit's something in between, I guessit's CLOSING TIMEYeah we're drinking and we're dancingbut there's nothing really happeningand the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday nightAnd my very close companiongets me fumbling gets me laughingshe's a hundred but she's wearingsomething tightand I lift my glass to the Awful Truthwhich you can't reveal to the Ears of Youthexcept to say it isn't worth a dimeAnd the whole damn place goes crazy twiceand it's once for the devil and once for Christbut the Boss don't like these dizzy heightswe're busted in the blinding lights,busted in the blinding lightsof CLOSING TIMEThe whole damn place goes crazy twiceand it's once for the devil and once for Christbut the Boss don't like these dizzy heightswe're busted in the blinding lights,busted in the blinding lightsof CLOSING TIMEOh the women tear their blouses offand the men they dance on the polka-dotsIt's CLOSING TIMEAnd it's partner found, it's partner lostand it's hell to pay when the fiddler stopsIt's CLOSING TIMEI swear it happened just like this:a sigh, a cry, a hungry kissIt's CLOSING TIMEThe Gates of Love they budged an inchI can't say much has happened sinceBut CLOSING TIMEI loved you when our love was blessedI love you now there's nothing leftBut CLOSING TIMEI miss you since the place got wreckedBy the winds of change and the weeds of sex.***First we take Manhattan(de novo:http://tinyurl.com/yhmfqa9 )They sentenced me to twenty years of boredomFor trying to change the system from withinI'm coming now, I'm coming to reward themFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI'm guided by a signal in the heavensI'm guided by this birthmark on my skinI'm guided by the beauty of our weaponsFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI'd really like to live beside you, babyI love your body and your spirit and your clothesBut you see that line there moving through the station?I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of thoseAh you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might winYou know the way to stop me, but you don't have the disciplineHow many nights I prayed for this, to let my work beginFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI don't like your fashion business misterAnd I don't like these drugs that keep you thinI don't like what happened to my sisterFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI'd really like to live beside you, baby ...And I thank you for those items that you sent meThe monkey and the plywood violinI practiced every night, now I'm readyFirst we take Manhattan, then we take BerlinI am guidedAh remember me, I used to live for musicRemember me, I brought your groceries inWell it's Father's Day and everybody's woundedFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
