FIM / END

.

like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my way to be free

like a worm on a hook
like a knight from

some old fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons

for thee

if i, if i have been unkind
i hope that you can just let it go by
if i, if i have been untrue
i hope you know

it was never to you

like a baby, stillborn
like a beast with his horn
i have torn everyone

who reached out for me

but i swear by this song
and by all that i have done wrong
i will make it all up to thee

i saw a beggar leaning

on his wooden crutch
he said to me

"you must not ask for so much"
and a pretty woman

leaning in her darkened door
she cried to me

"hey, why not ask for more?"

oh, like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my way

to be free

On The Wire

Leonard Cohen /// *

La Falaise

on était au bord du vide
on ne voyait que nous deux
je te connaissais à peine
sous la pluie, on roulait
et on accrochait les bords
des falaises
ca nous secouait un peu
on roulait
on roulait l'âme pleine
celles des hommes
celles des hommes courageux

et nos coeurs
battaient fort
c'était comme un jeu
on se promettait alors
de ne pas, de ne pas
mourir trop vieux

et tu disais
que tu ne m'aimais pas
moi je sais
qu'il y avait de ça
les voix, les voix
ne chantent pas
ne chantent pas si bas

et nos coeurs
battaient fort
c'était comme un jeu
on se promettait alors
de ne pas, de ne pas
mourir trop vieux

Myriad

i took a plane
i took a train
(ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

i said to carl
look up for once
(see just how the sun sets in the sky)

i said to jon
do you think the girls here
(ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
oh, well i do

look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour

all the boys
with their home-made microphones
(have very interesting sounds)

all the girls falling to ruin
dropping out of school, breakin' daddy's heart
(just to hang around)

Harbour

i walked into the local record store
and asked for an american music anthology
it sounds fun
they taught my sketches (?)
stuck 'em on the walls of ps1

i took a plane
i took a train
(ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

stranded at bleeker and broadway
looking for something to do

someone somewhere asked me is there anything
in particular i can help you with?
(all i ever want to help with was you)

look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour
look out upon the myriad harbour

The New Pornographers

I Want

i don’t want the way you move
the way you smile or act so cool
i don’t want the way you kiss
or tray to move my soul to this

i want you
i… i want you, baby
darling, don’t you heaver go way
baby, don’t leave me again

You

and i don’t want the way you move
the way you smile, though that’s so cool
and i don’t want second best
and i don’t give you one seconds rest

so if you’re lonely baby, tonight
there is nothing i wouldn’t do
just to tell you all about now
just to feel your heart breaking

breaking over me
all over me

Delirium Tremens

When The Deal

in the still of the night

in the world's ancient light
where wisdom grows up in strife
my bewildering brain, toils in vain
through the darkness on the pathways of life
each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air
tomorrow keeps turning around
we live and we die, we know not why
but i'll be with you

when the deal goes down

we eat and we drink

we feel and we think
far down the street we stray
i laugh and i cry and i'm haunted by
things i never meant nor wished to say
the midnight rain follows the train
we all wear the same thorny crown
soul to soul, our shadows roll
and i'll be with you

when the deal goes down

Goes Down

well, the moon gives light

and it shines by night
when i scarcely feel the glow
we learn to live and then we forgive
over the road we're bound to go
more frailer than the flowers

these precious hours
that keep us so tightly bound
you come to my eyes

like a vision from the skies
and i'll be with you

when the deal goes down

well, i picked up a rose

and it poked through my clothes
i followed the winding stream
i heard the deafening noise

i felt transient joys
i know they're not what they seem
in this earthly domain

full of disappointment and pain
you'll never see me frown
i owe my heart to you

and that's saying it's true
and i'll be with you

when the deal goes down

Bob Dylan

Emotionally

come baby, find me, come baby
remind me of where i once begun
come baby, show me, show me you know me
tell me you're the one
i could be learning, you could be yearning
to see behind closed doors
but i will always be
emotionally yours

come baby, rock me, come baby
lock me into the shadows of your heart
come baby, teach me, come baby
reach me, let the music start
i could be dreaming but i keep believing
you're the one i'm livin' for
and i will always be
emotionally yours

Yours

it's like my whole life never happened
when i see you, it's as if i never had a thought
i know this dream, it might be crazy
but it's the only one i've got

come baby, shake me, come baby
take me, i would be satisfied
come baby, hold me, come baby
help me, my arms are open wide
i could be unraveling
wherever i'm traveling
even to foreign shores
but i will always be
emotionally yours
