I know the Leonard Version (or, the ONLY SONG ALLOWED TO BE CALLED BY THAT NAME WHEN I RULE THE UNIVERSE) has been on heavy rotation in my car the last week.
(edit: especially the following)
and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
except to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights,
busted in the blinding lights
of CLOSING TIME
Lower than the Bronze sex?
She seemed to have been enjoying that.
My typo was that I typed "write" instead of "read". Which, you know. I'm modest, but not that modest, about my writing.
She was supposed to be enjoying it in the alley, per the script. Mayhaps SMG just wasn't enjoying it. I found the Bronze sex worse for me to watch, but that is part of what made that episode great-to-me.

I have to get me some Cohen. Stat. Funny about the car though, I was driving yesterday, and desperately trying to find any version of "Not Fade Away" on the radio, when I happened upon that song I mentioned, which we can call "Take me home" when you rule the universe.
Ooh, I don't think I saw that verse when Googling. Is this another song LC did 5 versions of?

Mmm. I'd flip them, but by a hair. She seemed more mortified then to me.

Nope, not really. I mean, standard variations, but not sweeping changes and alternate lyrics. All the lyrics are available at [link] of course.
Can we also have a vid to "I'm only happy when it rains"?
Dude. I'm a huge Garbage fan. That would rock.
Also, Cindy, it's Semisonic.
Lower than the Bronze sex?
The Bronze sex was on that catwalk/second floor structure. Which looks a lot like an alley.
Have also decided, been a HUGE sap, that a Wes/Illyria vid needs to be made to Light as the Breeze.
So I knelt there at the delta
at the alpha and the omega
I knelt there
like one who believes
and like a blessing come from heaven
for something like a second
I was cured, and my heart
was at ease.
Damn, I love Cohen. I read his lyrics and his poetry and I collapse in a state of awe from which there is no real return.
Don't know the Cohen song, but here's the lyrics for Lyle Lovett's "Closing Time":
The night she is a true companion
They shuffle in
They hear the sound
But by night's end
It's night's abandon
You look across the floor
Ain't anyone around
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
Now Kenny he's been mixing sound all evening
Sometimes I think that boy
He ain't got no ears
And Kathy's laughing
Kathy's always laughing
Well keep on laughing Kathy
Just make it out of here
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
So stack those chairs upon those tables
And stack those empties upon that bar
And count your money
And count my money
And hear those bottles ringing
You know where you are
Closing time
Unplug them people
And send them home
It's closing time
The night's all that's left behind
You take your part and I'll take mine
And go on home
It's closing time
Rather fitting for the end of the Buffyverse, I thought.
