first we take manhattan 

1. leonard cohen'in sevemediğim parçalarından biri.
   
   sözleri:
   
   they sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
   for trying to change the system from within
   i'm coming now, i'm coming to reward them
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
   
   i'm guided by a signal in the heavens
   i'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
   i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
   
   i'd really like to live beside you, baby
   i love your body and your spirit and your clothes
   but you see that line there moving through the station?
   i told you, i told you, told you, i was one of those
   
   ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that i just might win
   you know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
   how many nights i prayed for this, to let my work begin
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
   
   i don't like your fashion business mister
   and i don't like these drugs that keep you thin
   i don't like what happened to my sister
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
   
   i'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
   
   and i thank you for those items that you sent me
   the monkey and the plywood violin
   i practiced every night, now i'm ready
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
   
   i am guided
   
   ah remember me, i used to live for music
   remember me, i brought your groceries in
   well it's father's day and everybody's wounded
   first we take manhattan, then we take berlin
