Poems and Songs – Leonard Cohen
It is a new experience to me to read song lyrics from the
printed page, unless you count innumerable teenage hours spent poring over
Bruce Springsteen liner notes. It is striking how weak many of the words seen
when stripped from their musical context. The tune and delivery are obviously crucial
to the power of the original medium, and the relentless ABAB structures really
plod.
