From I'm Your Fan, a Leonard Cohen tribute album
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
I said to Leonard Cohen: How lonely does it get?
Leonard Cohen hasn't answered me yet
But I can hear him coughing all night long,
A million floors above me in the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born like this, with a golden voice
Twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond,
Well they tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
You can stick your needles in a voodoo doll
I'm sorry baby, but it don't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
They don't let a woman kill you in the Tower of Song
I've grown bitter, bitter, of this you may be sure:
The rich, the rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement but it won't be long, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song - oh yeah -
The guitar, the bass, the drums, so nice every hour in the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
But I loved you, baby, way back when
All the bridges are burning that we might have crossed,
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
But I'll never have to lose you again, Tower of Song
I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'm back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
I'm speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, of this you can be sure:
The rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement but it won't take long, I may be wrong
Australian musician and author Nick Cave was the lead singer of Aussie post-punk band The Birthday Party in the early 80s. They split in 1984 due to personal difficulties aggravated by drug and alcohol abuse, with Cave and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey teaming up to form Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Each of their albums have been hits with critics, but less successful with the public at large. Tender Prey (1988) and The Good Son (1990) were particularly praised, while Let Love In (1994) reached No.12 in the UK album charts. Murder Ballads (1996) got four places higher, and featured a duet with Kylie Minogue called "Where The Wild Roses Grow" that was a chart hit in several countries. The Boatman's Call (1997) was considered by many to be their best release yet. In 2004, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds released their 13th studio album, the double-disc Abbatoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus. Mojo Magazine (UK) and The Age (Australia) both named it their Album Of The Year, and other critics were enthusiastic too. Although the band haven't officially split up, Cave and three of the Bad Seeds have embarked on a side project called Grinderman.
