Long as I remember the rain been comin down.
Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain.I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.8 September, 2006 at 9:02 am #139293
AnonymousYou’re cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You’re monochrome delirious
You’re nothing that you seem
I’m drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You know you’re everything I needChorus:
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you wantI wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
And tear at your defenses
Till there’s nothing left but me
You’re angry when you’re beautiful
Your love is such a tease
I’m drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you screamChorus

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dyingLay down all thoughts surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shiningThat you may see the meaning of within
It is being
It is beingThat love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowingThat ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believingBut listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not living
It is not livingOr play the game Existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginningThe Beatles
11 September, 2006 at 4:37 am #139298From bitter searching of the heart,
Quickened with passion and with pain
We rise to play a greater part.
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart.
We loved the easy and the smart,
But now, with keener hand and brain,
We rise to play a greater part.
The lesser loyalties depart,
And neither race nor creed remain
From bitter searching of the heart.
Not steering by the venal chart
That tricked the mass for private gain,
We rise to play a greater part.
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain,
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part12 September, 2006 at 12:44 am #139299The Future
Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room
My secret life
It’s lonely here
There’s no one left to tortureGive me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me baby
That’s an orderGive me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that’s left
Stuff it up the hole
In your cultureGive me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
I’ve seen the future brother
It is murderThings are gonna slide
Slide in all direction
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard
The blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it’s overturned
The order of the soulWhen they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?You don’t know me from the wind
You never will
You never did
I’m the little Jew
Who wrote the BibleI’ve seen the nations rise and fall
I’ve heard their stories
Heard them all
But love’s the only engine of survivalYour servant here he has been told
To say it clear to say it cold
It’s over
It ain’t going any furtherAnd now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil’s riding crop
Get ready for the future
It is murderThings are gonna slide
Slide in all direction
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard
The blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it’s overturned
The order of the soulWhen they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?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 foetus now
We don’t like children anyhow
I’ve seen the future baby
It is murderThings are gonna slide
Slide in all direction
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard
The blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it’s overturned
The order of the soulWhen they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said
Repent
Repent
I wonder what they meant?
When they said

I wonder what they meant?
When they said

12 September, 2006 at 5:57 am #139301Democracy
It’s coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It’s coming from the feel
That this ain’t exactly real
Or it’s real but it ain’t exactly thereFrom the war against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gayDemocracy is coming
To the U.S.A.It’s coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don’t pretend to understand at allIt’s coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay
From the brave
The bold
The battered
Heart of ChevroletDemocracy is coming
To the U.S.A.It’s coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bi.tchin’
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eatFrom the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away..Democracy is coming
To the U.S.A.Sail on
Sail on
Oh mighty Ship of StateTo the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of HateSail on
Sail on
Sail on
Sail onIt’s coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It’s here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it’s here they got the spiritual thirstIt’s here the family’s broken
And it’s here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a Fundamental wayDemocracy is coming
To the U.S.A.It’s coming from the women and the men
Oh baby
We’ll be making love again
We’ll be going down so deep
The river’s going to weep
And the mountain’s going to shout Amen!It’s coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial
Mysterious
In amorous arrayDemocracy is coming
To the U.S.A.Sail on
Sail on
Oh mighty Ship of StateTo the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of HateSail on
Sail on
Sail on
Sail onI’m sentimental
If you know what I mean
I love the country but I can’t stand the scene
And I’m neither left or right
I’m just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screenBut I’m stubborn as those garbage bags
That Time cannot decay
I’m junk but I’m still holding up
This little wild bouquetDemocracy is coming
To the U.S.A.Leonard Cohen
