Leonard Cohen – So Long Marianne

Come over to the window, my little darling,

I’d like to try to read your palm.

I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy

before I let you take me home.

Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Well you know that I love to live with you,

but you make me forget so very much.

I forget to pray for the angels

and then the angels forget to pray for us.

Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …
v

We met when we were almost young

deep in the green lilac park.

You held on to me like I was a crucifix,

as we went kneeling through the dark.

Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …

Your letters they all say that you’re beside me now.

Then why do I feel alone?

I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web

is fastening my ankle to a stone.

Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …

For now I need your hidden love.

I’m cold as a new razor blade.

You left when I told you I was curious,

I never said that I was brave.

Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …

Oh, you are really such a pretty one.

I see you’ve gone and changed your name again.

And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,

to wash my eyelids in the rain!

Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began …

Joni Mitchell – Carey

The wind is in from africa

Last night I couldn’t sleep

Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here carey

But it’s really not my home

My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet

And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy french cologne

Oh carey get out your cane

And I’ll put on some silver

Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you fine

Come on down to the mermaid cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine

And we’ll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down

Let’s have a round for these freaks and these soldiers

A round for these friends of mine

Let’s have another round for the bright red devil

Who keeps me in this tourist town

Come on, carey, get out your cane

I’ll put on some silver

Oh you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

Maybe I’ll go to amsterdam

Or maybe I’ll go to rome

And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers ’round my room

But let’s not talk about fare-thee-welis now

The night is a starry dome.

And they’re playin’ that scratchy rock and roll

Beneath the matalla moon

Come on, carey, get out your cane

And I’ll put on some silver

You’re a mean old daddy, but I like you

The wind is in from africa

Last night I couldn’t sleep

Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here

But, it’s really not my home

Maybe it’s been too long a time

Since I was scramblin’ down in the street

Now they got me used to that clean white linen

And that fancy french cologne

Oh carey, get out your cane

I’ll put on my finest silver

We’ll go to the mermaid cafe

Have fun tonight

I said, oh, you’re a mean old daddy, but you’re out of sight

Bob Dylan – Just Like A Woman

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand inside the rain

Ev’rybody knows

That Baby’s got new clothes

But lately I see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does

She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does

And she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she’s my friend

Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again

Nobody has to guess

That Baby can’t be blessed

Till she sees finally that she’s like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman, yes, she does

She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does

And she aches just like a woman

But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first

And I was dying there of thirst

So I came in here

And your long-time curse hurts

But what’s worse

Is this pain in here

I can’t stay in here

Ain’t it clear that—

I just can’t fit

Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit

When we meet again

Introduced as friends

Please don’t let on that you knew me when

I was hungry and it was your world.

Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do

You make love just like a woman, yes, you do

Then you ache just like a woman

But you break just like a little girl.

David Bowie – Starman

Goodbye love

Didn’t know what time it was the lights were low oh how

I leaned back on my radio oh oh

Some cat was layin’ down some rock ’n’ roll ’lotta soul, he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade a ade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase ha hase

That weren’t no d.j. that was hazy cosmic jive

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’d like to come and meet us

But he thinks he’d blow our minds

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’s told us not to blow it

Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you ho ho

Hey, that’s far out so you heard him too! o o

Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two

Look out your window I can see his light a ight

If we can sparkle he may land tonight a ight

Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’d like to come and meet us

But he thinks he’d blow our minds

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’s told us not to blow it

Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

Starman waiting in the sky

He’d like to come and meet us

But he thinks he’d blow our minds

There’s a starman waiting in the sky

He’s told us not to blow it

Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

Lou Reed – Satellite Of Love

Satellite’s gone

Up to the skies

Thing like that drive me

Out of my mind

I watched it for a little while

I like to watch things on tv

Satellite of love

Satellite’s gone

Way up to mars

Soon it will be filled

With parking cars

I watch it for a little while

I love to watch things on tv

Satellite of love

Satellite of love

Satellite of love

Satellite of

I’ve been told that you’ve been bold

With harry, mark and john

Monday, tuesday, wednesday to thursday

With harry, mark and john

Satellite’s gone

Up to the skies

Thing like that drive me

Out of my mind

I watched it for a little while

I love to watch things on tv

Satellite of love
