Lyrics for Song: That Don't Make It Junk
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Leonard Cohen
I fought against the bottle, but i had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn show, but that dont make it junk
I know that im forgiven, but i dont know how i know
I dont trust my innerfeelings, you know feelings come and go
how come you called me here tonight?
how come you bother with my heart at all?
you raised me up in grace,
then you put me in a place where i must fall
too late to mix another drink, the lights are goin out
ill just listen to the darkness and i know what thats about
I tried to love you my way
but i couldnt make it whole
so i close the book of longing
and i do what i am told
how come you called me here tonight?
how come you bother with my heart at all?
you raised me up in grace,
then you put me in a place where i must fall
I fought against the bottle, but i had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn show, but that dont make it junk
I fought against the bottle, but i had to do it drunk
Took my diamond to the pawn show, but that dont make it junk
that dont make it junk
that dont make it juuunnk

That Don't Make It Junk
Leonard Cohen's 'That Don't Make It Junk' stands as a poignant example of his late-career introspection, blending folk and art rock sensibilities with his signature poetic lyricism. Recorded during the final years of his life, the track reflects his enduring ability to distill complex spiritual and existential themes into accessible, melodic structures. While often associated with his broader discography of late 1990s recordings, the song captures the same melancholic yet transcendent atmosphere found in works like 'Hallelujah' and 'A Thousand Kisses Deep'. Cohen's vocal delivery remains steady and intimate, characteristic of his approach to exploring the human condition through music. The composition serves as a testament to his lifelong commitment to weaving religious imagery with secular observation, creating a timeless piece that resonates across generations of listeners. |
