first we take manhattan

• guzel bir leonard cohen sarkisi. cover'lari da mevcut.
  
  they sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
  for trying to change the system from within
  i'm coming now, i'm coming to reward them
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
  
  i'm guided by a signal in the heavens
  i'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
  i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
  
  i'd really like to live beside you, baby
  i love your body and your spirit and your clothes
  but you see that line there moving through the station?
  i told you, i told you, told you, i was one of those
  
  ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that i just might win
  you know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
  how many nights i prayed for this, to let my work begin
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
  
  i don't like your fashion business mister
  and i don't like these drugs that keep you thin
  i don't like what happened to my sister
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
  
  i'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
  
  and i thank you for those items that you sent me
  the monkey and the plywood violin
  i practiced every night, now i'm ready
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
  
  i am guided
  
  ah remember me, i used to live for music
  remember me, i brought your groceries in
  well it's father's day and everybody's wounded
  first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
• her dinleyişte aynı hissi yaratan^* büyük cohen şarkısı.
• rem coverı mevcut olan parça.
• leonard cohen'in en güzel parçalarından biri. klibi durağandır, güzeldir ve pek çok insan sevmez.
• simdi dinlendiginde, soylendiginde, ozellikle de new york civarlarinda, bir sekilde 11 eylul'le baglantisi kurulan sarki.
• siyah/beyaz videosunun sonunda leonard cohen'in uzun siyah paltosu içinde sakin bir şekilde dalgalara doğru sabit durmakta olduğu, dalgalarınsa öyle ahenkle ona doğru gelip gitmekte olduğu hayal meyal hatırlanan ağır leonard cohen kaydı.
  
  [rem yorumu "im your fan" tribute albümünde bulunabilir.]
• rem yorumu cok cok guzel olan parca.
• birçok yorumunu dinleyip joe cocker versiyonundan şaşılmaması gerektiğini düşündüğüm sürreal eser.
• gangs of new york filminden bir replikmi$ hissi uyandiran soz obegi.^**
• sirenia'nın 2004 sene çıkışlı sirenian shores adlı albumunde cover'ı mevcut olan şarkı.
