Leonard Cohen: Sing Another Song, Boys

aus dem Album: Songs Of Love And Hate

Songtext:
Ah his fingernails, i see they're broken, Klebefolie Wand Weinrot
His ships they're all on fire.
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire. Krone basteln
She spies him through the glasses
From the pawnshops of her wicked father.
She hails him with a microphone Hotel Ostsee
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her.
She tempts him with a clarinet,
She waves a nazi dagger. Briefpapier
She finds him lying in a heap;
She wants to be his woman.
He says, "yes, i might go to sleep kitzbühel österreich
But kindly leave, leave the future,
Leave it open."

He stands where it is steep,
Oh i guess he thinks that he's the very first one,
His hand upon his leather belt now
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner.
And she will learn to touch herself so well
As all the sails burn down like paper.
And he has lit the chain
Of his famous cigarillo.
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon,
At least not the one that we're after;
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends,
And it carries no survivors.
But lets leave these lovers wondering
Why they cannot have each other,
And let's sing another song, boys,
This one has grown old and bitter.
