I'm Your Man, a definitive Leonard Cohen album. Though still touched with the tragic ("Take This Waltz," based on a Garcia Lorca poem), the album often achieves its high points by combining Cohen's world-weariness with black-humoured evocations of social and romantic ills and artistic quandaries.

The word "reward" is enounced with anticipatory gusto…revenge is a dish best served cold. The chorus is sung by Anjani - Cohen's records and concerts have always featured singers - providing stark contrast to the poet's voice.
What is the song about? Is it is a nonsense protest song or a vindication of Cohen's career as someone ... ...is a great song and one which redefined his career.
"You loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win" is hardly a line written by a pessimist. It is also a reminder that although you might be sunk in depression today, you sure can get out of it tomorrow and be a winner.
