Leonard Cohen - Queen Victoria
Tekst :
My father and all his tobacco loved you,I love you too in all your forms,
the slim and lovely virgin floating among German beer,
the mean governess of the huge pink maps,
the solitary mourner of a prince.
Queen Victoria,
I am cold and rainy,
I am dirty as a glass roof in a train station,
I feel like an empty cast iron exhibition,
I want ornaments on everything,
because my love, she gone with other boys.
Queen Victoria,
do you have a punishment under the white lace,
will you be short with her, will you make her read those little Bibles,
will you spank her with a mechanical corset.
I want her pure as power, I want her skin slightly musty with petticoats
will you wash the easy bidet out of her head?
Queen Victoria,
I m not much nourished by modern love,
will you come into my life
with your sorrow and your black carriages,
And your perfect
memories.
Queen Victoria,
the Twentieth Century belongs to you and me.
Let us be two severe giants not less lonely for our partnership,
who discolour test tubes in the halls of Science,
who turn up unwelcome at every World s Fair,
heavy with proverbs and corrections,
confusing the star-dazed tourists
with our incomparable sense of loss.

Never straight and narrow
I won t keep in time
Tend to burn the arrow
Out of the line
Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
That s where there s thunder
And the wind shouts back

Who gives you the right to come here and tell me
I have to leave this place my home
To you it s a jungle, to me it s a kingdom
Where (my) people are free there to roam
Born with the stars we are happy...

Ecstasy of life
Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life
You shouldn t suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Wash in the pain the gates will not be shut
To the world of anger
Feel as much as I feel
More pain than the growing sorrow
Lies supposed to break me
As you always...
You shouldn t suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Wash in the pain the gates will not be shut
To the world of anger
Feel as much as I feel
More pain than the growing sorrow
Lies supposed to break me
As you always...
Love me like that
Well you sold my heart
And I ll get it back
But look me in the eye babe
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that… oh oh
Well I walk this world
Five times or more...
And I ll get it back
But look me in the eye babe
Tell me why you love me like that
Why you love me like that… oh oh
Well I walk this world
Five times or more...
Let it go
[verse:]
I m to the point where I can t take no more your immaturity
it adds ton fustrating like those things you say
actin like you aint feelin me,
your boys come around then you start thrillin me
[chorus: 2x]...
