Leonard Cohen – Take This Waltz Lyrics 18 years ago
Some of the imagery is distinctly sexual and even violent.

"Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where love's never been"

Seems to me to be about taking a girl's virginity.

The song as a whole seems to be about love and lust, entropy and decay. The very last verse evokes images of the singer and the girl he's singing to withdrawing into each other and into nature.

Leonard Cohen – Tower of Song Lyrics 18 years ago
I've always imagined the tower as being a huge block of flats in the middle of rolling countryside.

Leonard Cohen – Jazz Police Lyrics 18 years ago
"Jazz Police" is a fairly derogatory term to describe purist jazz fans.
