Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight over through ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

[Chorus]

Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Chorus]

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[Chorus]

Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
 
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
 
/ a cold and a broken , hallelujah ~
 
// best performed by jeff Buckley, another Cohen masterpiece

The Best of the Thompson Twins [Platinum and Gold Collection], Arista/BMG Heritage CD 82876-50928-2, compiled in 2003.  This is one of my favorite "pop" groups from the 1980s - and this disc captures them at their best!  I always marvel at the seductiveness of the sonic world created by the Thompson Twins.  If you remember hearing, "Hold Me Now" on the radio back then, and you tapped your foot to it and found its chorus sticking in your brain, then spend a few bucks to get this CD (from Amazon.com or wherever) and listen to it (and their other tunes) again through your headphones.  I think you'll be amazed at how deliciously all the effects and reverb are painted against a background of velvety silence, as well as by their individual (and electronically massed) voices.
 
Keep listening and keep smilin'!
