"I'm sentimental if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
This is my love letter to the U.S.A."
Leonard Cohen introducing 'Democracy' at the Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, November 5 2008.
