Just thought i’d share this little cover version of Leonard Cohens First We Take Manhattan by R.E.M. I’m always dubious when it comes to covers at the best of times and far more so when it comes tpo Leonard Cohen covers. But I must say I was pretty Impressed by this one. So thought i’d share it with y’all.
First we Take Manhattan by R.E.M
First We Take Manhattan Lyrics
They Sentenced me to 20 years of boredom
For trying 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, your spirit and your soul
Now you see that line theyre movin through the station
I told you, I told , I told you, I was one of those
Now I thank you for the Items that you sent me
The Monkey and the Plywood violin
I’ve practiced every night, now im ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
R.E.M.
What Did You Think of That Then?
