Okay, I know it's, like, ten years or so, but if there's still room for some Peter Gabriel on our airwaves, I guess there's still hope.

I'm gonna be both Siskel and Ebert and give them two thumbs up, because for once in a pop punk song, it is not about the likability of the chorus, but the Sprechgesang (for lack of a better word) she does in the verse that is so catchy and unforgettable that I have a hard time stopping listening to this song.

Yesterday I listened Days of Future Past and The Time Machine and I doubt they will play them live. I think they ‘ll go for Hell on Earth and the three first ones of the album.

A very special and beloved song of Leonard Cohen who writes a letter to a friend that went with his woman probably referring to Suzanne Elrod, in the song disguised as his wife Jane.
The Burberry raincoat was stolen from Marianne's apartment (the Marianne of the song) Cohen's "eternal beloved"
I'll write a longer post in my Rock Stories thread but for now please enjoy this beauty of the song
Leonard Cohen -Famous Blue Raincoat
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear --
Sincerely, L. Cohen

And here's a lovely version from Jennifer Warnes from her lovely album of Cohen interpretations.
