A God Among Men... Leonard Cohen
 

And he would hate me for saying that, but...

Its heartbreaking - and yet somehow joyous - how many people miss the point of this song... Keep singing it in church. Now THAT is funny...

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throat and she cut your hair...
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah!



Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you...

Its not a crime that you're here tonight
Its not a pilgram who claims to have seen the light, no!
Its a cold and its a very broken Hallelujah!

Hallelujah...

Maybe the greatest song ever recorded in the history of the world. So sad that so many talentless fucks destroy it. Hallelujah, baby! Go pray to your baffled King and your non-existant God...

Its a cold and very lonely hallelujah...

Btw, this song is about pussy. Not God - pussy.

You have alot to say... you need to write a book.

Leonard Cohen is fucking amazing in terms of lyrics he even surpasses Randy Newman, dude is a poet laureate

BTW even funnier than singing this in church

I went on a road trip to Toronto Canada with Sana Fey once, in her "All American" set she donned the red white and blue and danced to the Guess Who "American Woman" and was clueless why people were laughing their asses off.

Very nice song.

Some great covers of it:





The one that actually popularized it:

write a book

Jesus is lord!

Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Niel Young. Enough said

KD Lang cover at the Junos is the best version imho.

Love the voice, have a double live set in my car. I much prefer his voice now, much mellower than his younger years:thumbsup:thumbsup

actually the live set I have, is from the London Live concert, which is the same as the top song posted, FUCKING GREAT !!!

I am listening to Paper Thin Hotel right now, but Greg Duli's version.

I like K.D. Lang's version. :thumbsup

Never bought any of his albums but he is amazing for sure...

i have a bootleg of him live in 1967, simply awesome.

Well she would certainly know how to sing songs about pussy, wouldn't she... :winkwink:

Amazing version, brings tears to the eyes

Legend, giving us nice memories.
