Album Review
Cohen, Leonard : Ten New Songs
King of misery returns from monastry with synthesizer.
Even his most optimistic fans could've been forgiven for thinking that they'd heard the last of Leonard Cohen, the most urbanely depressed of rock's elder statesmen. After all, he's just turned 67, hasn't released an album in nine years and, most pertinently, appeared to have found contentment of sorts living as a Buddhist monk in California. Fears of a red wine...

Leonard Cohen - Songs From The Road Lyrics
Leonard Cohen - Lover Lover Lover Lyrics
I asked my father
I said, "Father, change my name"
The one I'm using now, it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
Leonard Cohen - Bird on The Wire Lyrics
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Leonard Cohen - Chelsea Hotel Lyrics
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Leonard Cohen - Heart With No Companion Lyrics
Now I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and so shattered
It will reach you everywhere
Leonard Cohen - That Don't Make It Junk Lyrics
I fought against the bottle but I had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawnshop but that don't make it junk
I know that I'm forgiven but I don't know how I know
I don't trust my inner feelings, inner feelings come and go
Leonard Cohen - Waiting for The Miracle Lyrics
Baby, I've been waiting
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time
I waited half my life away
Leonard Cohen - Avalanche Lyrics
Well, I stepped into an avalanche, it covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see, I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn, learn to serve me well
Leonard Cohen - Suzanne Lyrics
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know, she's half crazy
Leonard Cohen - The Partisan Lyrics
When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished
Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat Lyrics
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton street all through the evening
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah Lyrics
Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
Leonard Cohen - Closing Time Lyrics
We're drinking and we're dancing
And the band is really happening
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
