In homage to the new collection `More Best of Leonard Cohen'
Draw the curtains, dim the light
Your partner's gone for good
Should you decide to hang
yourself
Or slit your wrists, you should
But if you're still in any doubt
Get the Leonard Cohen out
Leonard Cohen? Ah. What
larks
He's seen you through it all
And waits in dusty corners
For the jilted lover's call
Or nestles in your record set
On stand-by like a country vet
The bedsit weeps. The attic sighs
There's nothing else will do
And Morrissey might be too
light
For what you're going through
Make sure there's no-one else
about
And Laughing Len will sort
you out
Pop the pill, turn on the gas
Or kick the chair away
The chances are the song
will still
Be grinding on next day
But look out for a mega hit
If EXIT ever go legit
