    Hallelujah (Cohen/Buckley)

    How's this for a dark line:

    "Maybe there's a God above
    But all I ever learned from love
    Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya"

    Cohen wrote some wicked words and Buckley sure knows how to sing them.

    Sick and ashamed and happy (and another Cohen gem: "I don't mean to suggest / That I loved you the best / I can't keep track of each fallen robin / I remember you well / In the Chelsea Hotel / But that's all, I don't think of you that often"),
    d.
    "Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward."
    - Kurt Vonnegut

    Cohen is telling some great stories in his songs for sure. The partisan is also a strong one.
    You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
