Chelsea Hotel #2 - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

I remember you well

In the Chelsea Hotel

You were talking so brave

And so sweet

Giving me head on the unmade bed

While the limousines wait in the street

Those were the reasons

And that was New York

We were running for the money

And the flesh

And that was called love

For the workers in song

Probably still is for those

Of them left

Ah but you got away

Didn't you babe

You just turned your back

On the crowd

You got away I never

Once heard you say

I need you I don't need you

I need you I don't need you

And all of that jiving around

I remember you well

In the Chelsea Hotel

You were famous

Your heart was a legend

You told me again

You preferred handsome men

But for me you would

Make an exception

And clenching your fist

For the ones like us

Who are oppressed

By the figures of beauty

You fixed yourself you said

Well never mind

We are ugly but we have the music

And then you got away

Didn't you babe

You just turned your back

On the crowd

You got away I never

Once heard you say

I need you I don't need you

I need you I don't need you

And all of that jiving around

I don't mean to suggest

That I loved you the best

I can't keep track of each fallen robin

I remember you well

In the Chelsea Hotel

That's all

I don't even think of you that often
