The New Leonard Cohen IMHO

Nick Cave Opium Tea

Here I sleep the morning through
'Til the wail of the call to prayer awakes me
And there ain't nothing at all to do but rise and follow
The day wherever it takes me

I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I am what I am, and what will be will be
I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I make me a pot of opium tea

Down at the port I watch the boats come in
Watch the boats come in can do something to you
And the kids gather around with an outstretched hand
And I toss them a dirham or two

I like Nick Cave, wouldnt exactly describe him as a new anything though, he must have been around for 30 years!

What I meant was he will take over the mantle of Leonard when Leonard departs

I actually thought Leonard died years ago!

Seemingly he is broke and trying to revive himself

So yes you could be right

Staying with Nick but including a great Butt

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

The Lyre Of Orpheus Lyrics

Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed

Wondering what to do

With a lump of wood and a piece of wire

And a little pot of glue

Oh mama, oh mama



He sawed at the wood with half a heart

And glued it top to bottom

He strung a wire in between

He was feeling something rotten

Oh mama, oh mama



Orpheus looked at his instrument

And he gave the wire a pluck

He heard a sound so beautiful

He gasped and said, "Oh my God"

Oh mama, oh mama



He rushed inside to tell his wife

He went racing down the halls

Eurydice was still asleep in bed

Like a sack of cannonballs

Oh mama, oh mama



"Look what I've made", cried Orpheus

And he plucked a gentle note

Eurydices eyes popped from their sockets

And her tongue burst through her throat

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Tracy Chapman - All that you have is your soul

I love Tracy Chapman

Fast Car

one of my favorites

I have - I believe - 4 or 5 of her cds

and we have similar vocal range so I can sing her music (for fun & in the shower)

I can't say as I have ever looked at one artist to replace another? There are too many to list who are irreplaceable

Writer: CHAPMAN, TRACY L

Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me

Someone on Mingle Brought this to My Notice

I like it..Thank you

Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that the gates,
They'll tell me that you're mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on a Friday night
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine
It's like I told you honey

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feelin' hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
Feel it now, much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more

Run What You Like Iam.....Its a Free Country


If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat no books to read
Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want

Richard Hell And The Voidoids - Blank Generation.
I was sayin let me out of here before I was
even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
but when I dine it's for the wall that I seta place
I belong to the blankgeneration and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
I belong to the blankgeneration and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
To hold the t.v. to my lips, the air so packed with cash
then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall intoyour arms' tracks
and watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
I belong to the blankgeneration and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the blankgeneration and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time top

Hooked on This Guy For Now

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Lovely Video

You should have been an angel, it would've suited you
My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete

And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet
Can there be more in this world than the
Joy of just watching you sleep?
I don't know just what to feel
Won't someone tell me my love's real?

I stepped out of the St.James Hotel
I'd left you behind curled up like a child
well, a change is gonna come
and as the door whispered shut
I walked on down the high-windowed hall

you lay sleeping on the unmade bed
the weatherman on the television
in the St.James Hotel said
that the rains are gonna come
and I stepped out on the streets/ all sparkling clean
with the early morning dew
