FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
They senEmtenced me to twenty years of boEmredom
For tryEming to change the system from wiEmthin
I'm comEming now I'm coming to rewEmard them
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin
I'm guiEmded by a signal in the heaEmvens
I'm guiEmded by this birthmark on myEm skin
I'm guiEmded by the beauty of our weEmapons
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin
I'd Greally like to live beside you, bDaby G
I love your boGdy and your spirit and your clEmothes
But you sGee that line there moving through the stEmation
I toDld you I toGld you I toBld you I was one of thoEmse
You lovEmed me as a loser but now your woEmrried that I just might win
You kEmnow the way to stop me but you Emdon't have the discipline
How mEmany nights I prayed for this: to lEmet my work begin
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin
EmI don't like your fashion business, mEmister
EmI don't like these drugs that keep you tEmhin
EmI don't like what happened to your sEmister
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin (chorus)
And I tEmhank you for those items that you Emsent me
The Emmonkey end the plywood violEmin
I prEmacticed every night and now I'm rEmeady
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin
RemEmember me, I used to live for mEmusic
RemEmember me, I brought your groceries iEmn
It's FaEmther's Day and everybody's wEmounded
FiDrst we take ManhattGan,B then we take BerlEmin
