The future: one day like today, seven years ago, Mr. Leonard Cohen passed away with all his words of hopes and sadness write on the walls of every souls. Thanks a lot, Master.❤(from Jujuy,Argentina)
So Correct - day after the president of Iran was killed shortly after he dropped 300 bombs on a Nation and a People who came back from the dead after 2500 years - REST In Peace Leonard - Hope you found your SHALOM
This was maybe the strangest song we used to play in my 8th floor dorm room at the University of Toledo in 1996 (on Natural Born Killers soundtrack), but it was perfect for late-night singalongs.
Yeah--I posted this and noted that same thing. This was the shorter and slightly changed version of that song as well. The lines in this song are just killer. "The blizzard; the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul."
This song proves that Leonard Cohen is an actual prophet, singing Karl Shwab's anthem 30 years ahead. Paul Shaffer, Another Canadian playing O Lord Please Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood is funny
Tell me that HE was not a visionare.......................... "Give me back my broken night My 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent) I wonder what they meant When they said (they said) >>>>>>>>>>>>> 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 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent) I wonder what they meant When they said (they said) >>>>>>>>>>> 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, 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 (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent) I wonder what they mean When they said (they said) >>>>>>>>>>>"

he botched this song a few places.... he screwed the meter of the song and kept hitting off beats but not consistently.... it sounded sloppy coz of it. I'm a huge fan but this was not a good rendition.
Just like CBS to require him to change "anal sex" to "careless sex". I'd like to have been there when they went round and round about that. This was a short version of the song.
