Great songs that have been covered by many

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Hardly a God song when you read the words. Having said that I haven't worked out what it all means.

As for KD Lang - a great singer and if you want a really good laugh check out Dame Edna with KD on Youtube.

The second link is to a more recent Leonard Cohen rendition, his delivery of all the verses is extremely clear, there is no doubt in what he is saying, it is not a god song at all. Well worth taking the time to listen to it one day, Leonard Cohen is one of those artists that definitely improved with age.

Seems like they have taken snippets from the Bible, but they don't gel together.

Leonard Cohen is both a poet and song writer, a bit like Bob Dylan but Leonard Cohen does a better delivery. Simply because some sections within the lyric coincide with some things written in your bible (versions differ) doesn't mean they are snippets from any bible, poetry rarely makes total sense but it is still enjoyed by millions
