Lyrics:
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For tryin' 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
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
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 (baby)
Remember me, I brought your groceries in (ooh baby yeah)
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded (baby)
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
"It's Father's Day, and everybody's wounded"
Just doesn't get any better than Leonard Cohen, the man was total genius.

This is my favorite era of Cohen. Pre-monk but post-lovesick Cohen made him a paragon of poetry that lasted a lifetime.

@@hans-juergenroemhild9256 me too !
This guy was way ahead of his time. He was musical Genius Awesome work and if you listen to the lyrics he was singing about the System and trying to make changes from within
hes singing about the exact opposite but ok fed

It's literally about Jewish revenge.
@@michaelferrando9405 so jews being jews
Cohen explained himself in a backstage interview at 1988:"I think it means exactly what it says. It is a terrorist song. I think it's a response to terrorism. There's something about terrorism that I've always admired. The fact that there are no alibis or no compromises. That position is always very attractive. I don't like it when it's manifested on the physical plane - I don't really enjoy the terrorist activities - but Psychic Terrorism. I remember there was a great poem by Irving Layton that I once read, I'll give you a paraphrase of it. It was 'well, you guys blow up an occasional airline and kill a few children here and there', he says. 'But our terrorists, Jesus, Freud, Marx, Einstein. The whole world is still quaking.'"
This is one of my favorite pieces of art: it is a song, a book, a film, a photograph - it's real and a lie, love and hate.
“You know how to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline” is just wild! 🤯
The US know how to stop Russian aggression, but hey don't have the discipline
@@jameshutchins3798 that’s an interesting view. I see it more of the devil speaking to man through his music like he has in so many other songs (we know the music industry is riddled with demonic messages and rituals) telling us you know how to stop me, but you lack the discipline. It really is a mind blowing line

@@Huskerguy316 Haha, nice one.
I'd agree with you though.
Rest in peace Leonard, your songs were among the first I ever heard and really inspired me to make music. When me and my brother were bron, my dad was still a full-time psychiatric nurse, but he would get back at 9pm and sing your songs to us, they were our lullabies. Now 30 years later, I'm a composer in Japan, trying my best to make music with the impact and grace that yours had. Thank you for your gifts, I hope you're happily making your poignant, romantic songs somewhere. Maybe you can finally duet Hallelujah with Jeff Buckley. Blessed be XX
his music makes my life a little better.

26 years and 4 days since, by courtesy of Nick Cave, I have heard this man and this song for the first time and nothing was the same afterwards... Cohen knew the truth, and knew how to tell it.
how so was it a courtesy i’m curious did cave do a cover??
His songs should have been number one all over the world.....what a poetic genius he was. Where was he all my life? I am a newcomer to this wonderful music. I cannot stop playing his soulful music over and over. RIP dear one.
I'm so glad!!!!
genius......❤❤❤❤
He and Dylan really were the pillars of poetic songwriting
This is very much a Cold War song inspired by a terrorist bombing in then West Germany.

I sent this exact stanza to an ex.It was better than any curse out I could come up with.To the point,firm and classy.Since dropping that loser I've gone from strength to strength.And he can't do anything outside of watch😎💃🏾

This was the first song by Mr. Cohen that I heard. It was on a Father's Day several years ago. The line "Well is father's day and everybody's wounded" stuck in my mind, I wished many years were to come until it was relevant to me. 7 months ago my dear father passed away; Leonard Cohen now. It's been a dark year... thankfully the 'crack' through which the light gets in is my 5-month son and my 10-month nephew, called Leonardo. They'll hear about their grandpa and Leonard's music, I'll make sure.

How are you nowadays man?
Thank you Leonard for your wonderful music!
Many comments here just miss the point. This record was released in spring of 1988. A year and a half later Berlin wall collapsed. "See that line that's moving thru the station"-anybody who crossed East German border with The Free World will remember it. This song is a prophecy. The boredom lasted just a year and a half and some young Germans were not lucky enough, got shot by their own border guard. Back in 1988 they sentenced to death,too, to for trying to change the system. Cohen was highly admired in 80's Poland. He visited here and knew what was going on in Eastern Europe.
Thank you. Perhaps the only interesting and thought-out comment on this video.

Descubrí a Cohen muy joven ( adolescente) Y desde aquella han pasado unas décadas .Su música ( sus letras) la cadencia siempre única de el universo Cohen me ha acompañado. Ha sido un universo de emociones escucharlo en varios directos y redescubrirlo cada vez .Cohen nunca será una estrella .Cohen es esa galaxia que te remueve y conmueve. Mi héroe de vida compleja e imperfectsmente humano con un gran trasfondo espiritual detrás .Cohen tan crítico con tantas cosas y tan especial en general en todo lo que fue su vida .Nunca podré agradecerte bastante el haberte tenido años y años ahí...a sólo un botón. Un privilegio que existieras. Tu música sigue en mi vida al igual que tus libros .Gracias por tanto.

Some real defining messages in this song.
This is a prophecy, but it is not yet known whether it is true. I understand some words, some I did check. "The monkey and the plywood violin." Meaning: the organ grinder on the street is about American donation, charity for show, which God doesn't like.
call for revenge ?

Edit: I changed my mind, can't believe I was stupid enough to like that anti-Semitic shit.
@@emailkolar4517 d'y' really think this song sides with the sites of para? he's so epically brilliant; say 't ain't so... maybe the 'sad insisted...

WHAT A BAD ASS SONG!!!
MY MAN IS BEYOND APOLOGIES!!!
Your man? Always my man. Creature, what do you think you are?
Written by a bad mind with maybe a bad ass. But what should I say? Not my problem. His problem. Don't search my proximity again, you snake
My heart is always under its own weather…
Despite the shining sun, the trees in gold
This sad November day has just grown sadder
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
Your songs were wrought by love, and pain, and caring,
Your spirit’s journey was complex and bold.
Your faith with you I was so proud of sharing
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
Hashem decides the way our lives are meted.
Just eighty-two - these days it’s not that old -
You went in peace, your earthly tasks completed
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
Of my homage to you I am the proudest.
Your deep, dark voice spoke to my troubled soul -
Of all those singing now, it spoke the loudest
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
Though over men like you death has no power
For you will live till all our hearts run cold,
My mind is bleeding verse in this dark hour
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
May your eternal soul ascend to heaven
And sing your solemn songs straight to our Lord.
The wealth you earned, the only kind worth having -
First you took Manhattan,
then you took the world
In loving memory
of Leonard (Eliezer ben Nathan) Cohen
November 11, 2016
Your words, straight from your heart, is undoubtedly the finest tribute to Leonard Cohen o.b.m. I've seen to date. Thank you for expressing so eloquently what is in my heart. I only recently heard his songs and have become a devoted fan. My loss for not having heard him decades ago. His lyrics touch my soul in an indescribably way; he was pure genius of the highest caliber. May he RIP in The World of Truth.
Dear Doris, thank you so much for your kind words! I posted my poem all these months ago craving to reach out to those who shared my sentiments and hoping for a response. Can’t think how or why this happened, but the notification of your reply has been sitting in my Inbox all this time…unseen. I am so sorry! Like you,
I only discovered him fairly recently, having grown up in another culture. His songs speak to my soul rather than my brain, and have inspired several of my own poems. My sense of loss was so keen that this poem just demanded to be written. It’s heartwarming to know that my feelings are shared by myriads of people the world over.
Best wishes, Ita-Rochel

The music Genius known as Leonard Cohen!
As músicas de Cohen fazem qualquer um pensar sobre várias coisas diferentes, elas têm uma espécie de valor literário típico da melhor poesia. Essa aqui, particularmente, evoca um romance absurdista ou um filme de ficção científica distópico. O fato de a música ser "sintetizada" (se é correto se expressar assim) dá um tom surreal à história contada na letra, como se os instrumentos musicais reais não dessem conta de passar a mensagem do compositor corretamente. A canção é genial, evidentemente, como qualquer coisa do Cohen, mas ocupa um lugar especial no grande repertório dele exatamente por ser "sui generis"- seria muito legal que houvesse outras canções exatamente nesse tom de rebelião/revolta/terrorismo contra um sistema opressor (as que mais se aproximam são "Everybody Knows", "The Future" e "Democracy"), formando um álbum completo, seria com certeza uma obra prima sem igual na história da música (não que o álbum "I'm Your Man" não seja, mas as canções são todas diferentes umas das outras).
“They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom for trying to chance the system from within “
You know the way to stop me, but you dont have discipline.
A Master Piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, reading some of the comments is a bit depressing, so clueless. This song is about the jewish people.

Truth 👏 has😢come
This was my introduction to Mr. Cohen's work, when I was a teen in the 1980's, listening cross-border to CFNY 102.1 out of Toronto (when the radio station and music actually mattered) as a small-town kid in Western New York.
His death was not unexpected, but it sill comes as a deep sadness heaped upon an already sad week and year.
My dad used to have an old cfny 102.1 sticker i think it said "Spirit of the Radio" I grew up listening to that station in the mid 90s they called it 102.1 the edge my sister helped me tune my first radio to it she told me there was 2 edge radio stations 102.1 toronto and 103.3 buffalo and that we should listen to the canadain station. Both were great radio stations i used to love listening to humble and fred in the morning before school and the thursday 30 countdown when all those alternative rock bands were still knew and fresh. Never heard cohen on the edge it was am740 were i first heard this song a few years ago and i feel i love with it instantly 🤘
I'm heartbroken that I only found Leonard recently! In a few days I felt I'd watched him live and die! What a strange way to mourn! His deep political poetry is comforting as hell! Then he sings a Sweet little love song with a subtle touch of raw sex! IF YOU WANT A DOCTOR! OMG! HE WAS SPECIAL!!
Europa: the neverending battle. Its nostalgic armies in castles of fear.
okay fatty
just a casual gods chosen terrorist's song nothing to see here
Look at how they grovel in their misfits.

I can't imagine he has a good time in the afterlife if there is one.
Descansa en paz maestro, poeta, cantante... desde que escuché por primera vez "First We Take Manhattan" cuando yo tenía 14 años me atrapaste con tu voz y ya nunca te solté, me has acompañado 28 años de mi vida en buenos y malos momentos y sé que parte de lo que soy te lo debo a ti, tuve el honor de asistir a dos conciertos tuyos en un Sant Jordi abarrotado de fans, y pudimos cantarte el Happy Birthday en uno de ellos. Recuerdo que con 14 años hicimos el viaje de fin de curso y yo no dejaba de poner tu cinta, y también en el coche de mis padres, intentando que todo el mundo descubriera tu arte. Además físicamente te parecías a mi abuelo y eso reforzaba mi vínculo contigo. Hoy estoy triste pero a la vez orgulloso y contento por tu legado, que siempre me acompañará. Si en el Sant Jordi lloré de emoción por verte y escucharte, hoy lo hago de pena porque nos dejas. Gracias por todo.
Simplemente, muy emotivo lo que acabo de leer... tres años después.
Palabras muy bien escritas, ^ oo ^
Siempre me sorprenderá lo mucho que un buen artista, sea cantante, actor, escritor, pintor, etc. puede llegar a reforzarnos en momentos en los que todo parece derrumbarse y aún así...salimos adelante. Que en este nuevo 2022 nos sigan ayudando a seguir adelante.

Leonard has been an old friend that I have over from time to time through his words and music since Suzanne. Usually when I need him and he's always come through for me. I think if I was to ask the Lord for one artistic talent I would ask to be able to write like Cohen and Zimmerman.
God needed a writer for his band
It's one way to think of it, yes.
I love this guy.
