Leonard Cohen - "Chelsea Hotel #2" - Philadelphia 5-12-09

Leonard Cohen sings "Chelsea Hotel #2" in a performance at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, PA on 5-12-09.

"I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."

And then you got away, didn't you babe..."
