Leonard Cohen’s last song released days before he died was called “You Want It Darker.” One of the verses is:
“They’re lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim,
I struggled with some demons, they were middle class and tame,
I didn’t know I had permission to murder and to maim,
You want it darker, we kill the flame.”
Anyway, that’s me, in the middle class. I could be better, but however bad I am, I’m still on the tame level.
