I have to include my all time favourite song…
Gotta kick at the darkness ‘till it bleeds dayight. Is there a better lyric in the history of song? I challenge someone to tell me what it is.
And with apologies to Bruce Cockburn, I offer up the cover by the Barenaked Ladies:
Excellent song and excellent lyrics, to be sure. May I offer up a few that, in my humble estimation, rival or surpass Mr. Cockburn?
1) Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin – Leonard Cohen “Dance me to the End of Love”.
2) Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride.
Bob Dylan “Ring Them Bells”
