Lucky Jim - Halleluja

this is a cover version of the song 'Halleluja' by Lucky Jim. the original is by Leonard Cohen.
i like this version most of all the 'Halleluja' cover versions.
a song from the movie 'Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei' with Daniel Brühl.

Lyrics:
Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Yeah but Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallellllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuuujjaaaaaaaaaahhhh

So sorry to have to refute the end credits of the video, but Jeff Buckley is not the originator of this song - he did a great cover of it, no doubt, but he is not the writer nor is the first one to record it. It was written and recorded by Leonard Cohen in 1984. See Hallelujah on Wikipedia for the Cohen album cover and details.

@InnocentFoolx3 If you know, then...why do you cite Jeff Buckley as the originator? Just curious.
