Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places that I used to play…
Tower of Song
Leonard Cohen
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

Tower of Song
Leonard Cohen
Great choice…How about this from LC? “They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom…”
The first song I heard on a decent stereo system in my younger days,…and still one of my favourites
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering.
He told me tales, and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feelin’ fine.
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire…
You sat ee-ther, and I say eye-ther
You say nee-ther, and I say ny-ther
“This is a public service announcement…with guitar”
My name is Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo Home
You painted up your lips, and rolled and curled your tinted hair
I got sunshine in my stomach like I just rocked my baby to sleep.
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout…
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won’t grow
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor…
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away… only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
Wha saw the tattie howkers? Wha saw them gang awa’?
When you pick up your Sunday morning papers, it’s nearly always trouble that you read …
Best opening lines - Intro - ever. Ok, the song is not all that and fortunately G&R had nothing to do with the film…
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
“Just like an old friend,kinder than expected,that Cadillac came and gave our girl a ride.”
Golden Embers by Mandolin Orange
Hits me every time I hear that song what was just now.
She came on to him like a slow moving cold front.
John Hiatt - Icy Blue Heart
Loneliness is a cloak you wear
