Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

Memories Lyrics

Frankie Lane, he was singing Jezebel 

 I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel 

 I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl 

 I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will 

 So won't you let me see 

 I said "won't you let me see" 

 I said "won't you let me see 

 Your naked body?" 

 Just dance me to the dark side of the gym 

 Chances are I'll let you do most anything 

 I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice 

 And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice 

 Ah but no you cannot see 

 She said "no you cannot see" 

 She said "no you cannot see 

 My naked body" 

 

 So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust 

 Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us 

 She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love 

 In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust 

 And all my faith to see 

 I said all my faith to see 

 I said all my faith to see 

 Her naked body
