Leonard Cohen "First We Take Manhattan" (Sorry,bad image*)
21-IX-09 Palau St Jordi
Barcelona

(Original lyrics are slightly different)

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens (guided baby)
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin (I am guided by)
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Well you know me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to can stop me, but you never have true discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
I mean the monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for music (baby)
Remember me, I brought your groceries in (oh baby yeah)
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

(*)...as you can see I was in the middle of the crowd so it was quite difficult to hold the camera still...plus I just wanted to enjoy one of my favourite songs so I kinda forgot I was filming...

..and YES! WE ALL SANG HAPPY B-DAY TO HIM !!!...^_^
