Artist: Leonard Cohen
Who Turned Me On to the Artist: An old boyfriend
Description: Beatnick, pot smoking, hippie, poet with music
Why I Relate: Cohen is a well regarded poet and I have a thing for words and the boys who weild them
Favorite Song: Everybody Knows
Favorite Lyric:
You treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
Who Turned Me On to the Artist: the radio
Description: Punk rock for the bubble gummers
Why I Relate: If I were still in high school this is a band I would listen to
Favorite Song:
I Miss you
All of This
Favorite Lyric:
Where are you
And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
My indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me
You're already a voice inside my head
