Hell to pay when the fiddler stops

There's a ton of good Leonard Cohen clips and I could've chosen something rarer or more famous or more interesting. But the hook on this song is wacky and his cadence strangely fits this song so well. Cohen is a marvel, man, nothing about this guy should work but he's got some sublime witch doctor shit going on. No matter how close he gets to the cool you can tell he doesn't care about it; but he'll never fall because he doesn't care about the un-cool either. There's nothing about this guy that could be called 'trendy' or 'timeless'. I can't help thinking he'll get buried in the suit he dies in.
