Great version of a fairly lame song that - I'm a big fan of covers that improve on the original (Elvis Costello's version of Sam & Dave's I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down, the Byrds' version of Dylan's You Ain't Going Nowhere, Bowie's rendition of Tom Verlaine's Kingdom Come etc).

As for that ^, that's one of my favourite songs off Cohen's debut (which is quite something considering that it's such a good album). I think the guy's got a good number of years in him yet (if he didn't I highly doubt he'd be touring the world as he has done for, what, the last year is it?), so I've still got high hopes for seeing him live one day, maybe even one last album.
