COIL: WHO BY FIRE [HORSE ROTORVATOR, 1986]

Οι Coil διασκευάζουν Leonard Cohen, με τον Mark Almond στα backing vocals. Στίχοι “σαρδόνια” επίκαιροι.
Πρόταση του Stcigar.

Coil covering a Leonard Cohen‘s song, with Mark Almond on backing vocals. Lyrics “sardonically” apt for the occasion.

And who by fire, who by water
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
Who by avalanche, who by powder
Who for his greed, who for his hunger
And who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who in this mirror
Who by his lady’s command, who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains, who in power
And who shall I say is calling?

    Nice version!
    Did you ever hear the version by Buck 65 with Jenn Grant? (Canadians… like Cohen 😉 )

      I didn’t know this one, it’s very good. Nothing comes close of course to Cohen’s rendition from Live In London – an absolute item.
      Thank you very much!
