Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen

I tried my best, it wasn’t much.

I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch.

I told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.

And even though it all went wrong.

I’ll stand before the Lord of Song.

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!

Things Have Changed- Bob Dylan

“Standing in the gallows with my head in a noose. Any second now I’m expecting all hell to break loose…

I’m in the wrong town, I’m in Hollywood. Just for a second there, I thought I saw something move.”

Lonesome Day Blue’s-Bob Dylan

“Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was. I tell myself that something is coming. But it never does…

I’m going to spare the defeated. I’m going to speak to the crowd. I’m going to teach peace to the conquered. Oh I’m going to tame the proud.

Leaves are rustling in the woods, things are falling off of the shelves. You’re going to need my help sweetheart, you can’t make love all by yourself. “

I’m traveling light.

It’s au revoir.

My once so bright.

Fallen star.

I’m running late.

They’ll close the bar.

I used to play.

One mean guitar.

I guess I’m just

Somebody who.

Has given up.

On me and you.

I’m not alone.

I’ve met a few.

Traveling light like

We need to do.

I hear all these rumors about you. Trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news.

All it does is kind of make me wonder, why people so eager to be so cruel.

You say that the parties over. But like a drunken fool, I never know when to leave. It’s just that in the eyes of this beholder. You mean everything to me.

Cause when I look into your eyes. Our love shines… like a diamond mine.

Interesting and sophisticated.

Refusing to be celebrated.

It’s a monumental big screen kiss.

It’s so deep Its meaningless.

One day you’ll just up and quit.

And that will be it.

Just then the stripper stopped in a coughing fit, said, “Sorry I can’t go on with this…

Close, but that’s not why I’m so hard done by.

Sam Stone – John Prine

There’s a hole in Daddys arm, where all the money goes…

I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee.

All of a sudden I could hear someone whistling right behind me.

I turned around and she said. “Why do you always end up down at Nick’s Cafe?”

I said, “I don’t know. The wind just kinda pushed me this way.”

She said, “Hang the rich.”

We’re setting sail for a place on the map. From which no one has ever returned. Drawn by the promise of the Joker and the fool, and the light of the crosses that burn. Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace. And the gold and the cotton and pearls.

It’s the place where they keep all the darkness you need.

You sail away from the light of the world on this trip baby…

Blind Willie McTell… by Bob Dylan.

“God is in his heaven.

And we all want what’s his.

But Power and Greed and Corruptible Seed

Seems to be all that there is.”
