Lyrics to "Allelujah" by Leornard Cohen

1. Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this he fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah

2. Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

3. You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah

4. I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah

---[Leonard Cohen]: This mad period started with Various Positions. I remember writing this song "Hallelujah"; I filled two notebooks with the song, and I remember being on the floor of the Royalton Hotel, on the carpet in my underwear, banging my head on the floor and saying, "I can't finish this song." After I wrote the one version [for Various Positions], 1 wrote another lyric which I'm doing now, which goes like this:

Baby, I've been here before. I know this room, I've walked this floor. I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch, But love is not some kind of victory march, No it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah.

There was a time you let me know What's really going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you, And the holy dove was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah.

Now maybe there's a God above, As for me, all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. and it's no complaint you hear tonight, and It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.

[--That was the prototype of the defeat. --Cohen.]

(Variations on the Last Verse)

Maybe there's a God above, But all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. It's not a cry that you at night It's not somebody who has seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Now maybe there's a God above, But all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. But it's not a cry that you hear tonight And it's not some gleeful laughter From somebody who says he has seen the light, It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Now maybe there's a God above, As for me, all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. But it's not a cry that you hear tonight It's not some gleeful christian who has seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Only so much code will fit on a user page. But it's still quite a bit. Fact is, the best writing is rewriting, so if I keep at it maybe just maybe I'll get something interesting written about my life and on to my user page that way. That is, through much rewriting. — Justmeherenow

Common form for cases where little is known about authorship of the page (with current date)

{{cite web |url= |title= |accessdate=2008-06-10 |format= |work= }}

Using author (with current date)

{{cite web |url= |title= |accessdate=2008-06-10 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher= |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }}

• url (required): URL of online item.
• title (required): Title of online item.

In the past, I have called myself an "anarchist", "decentralist leftist", "small l libertarian", "reactionary radical (to take a term from Bill Kauffman)", "paleo-liberal", "extreme localist", "Old Right individualist" and probably a number of other things I am forgetting. I have never repudiated any of these other terms and in fact I believe that they all basically mean the same thing.
