Words and Lyrics by Leonard Cohen:
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, baby, I've been here before.
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, there was a time when you'd let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you,
And the Holy Ghost was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe there is a God above,
But all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
It's not a cry that you hear at night,
And it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I am proud to say that I have never intentionally watched X Factor. The whole thing is arse gravy.  However I discovered yesterday that a singer called Alexandra Burke from the show is odds on to be number one at Christmas with a version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Not to be outdone, fans of the Canadian poet are apparently trying to out-download the X factor version with the original. Apparently fans of Jeff Buckley who consider his version to be the definitive one are now mounting a campaign to make his version number one. Here is the original.It is not known what Mr Cohen’s thoughts are on Alexandra Burke, X Factor or indeed Christmas but I’m sure we can imagine.However I wonder how many of the show’s fans know the song is not about religion at all and is in fact about (ahem!) bedroom sporting achievements?
