The version in my head has the singer living alone, and the king baffled.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm pretty sure it's "holy dove" in the Cale version....
someone have an open italics tag?
eta: SA, maybe?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I had the singer living alone, the baffled king (which was always such beautiful phrasing to me), and the holy ghost, not the holy dove.
I don't particularly like the Cohen version either, as it's too theatrical for me. I love Cohen normally, but that song just doesn't cut it. I think Hallelujah simultaneously changed my perspective on music, made me a huge Buckley fan, and forced me to listen to lyrics really really hard, all in one go.

Nope, no italics tag on my end.

Up with the sun
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halle... It’s not what you’re told It’s not her face It’s not his touch In the room you both share Where he’s gone when he loved When your time and your memory fills your dreams When you’re honest and together Together no more No more Hallelujah, until you’re nothing Hallelujah, baby, until she’s everywhere Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I’d lost Hallelujah, hallelujah
This is from the live version, right? It doesn't seem to be on the one from "Grace," which I have on my iPod.
FWIW, John Cale largely sings the Buckley lyrics.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Nope, no italics tag on my end.
Um, actually...
I fixed the open italics tag in SA's original post.

Dunno, I pulled it off a lyrics site.

Well, I didn't see it. Thanks.

It was displaying OK on IE, but not on Firefox.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
It's "I used to live alone," "the baffled king" and "holy dove."

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Yes. And those lyrics are almost certainly from a different Jeff version, because the recording on "Grace" does not have that final verse.
