Hm........ any three songs actually.

If it be your will
So long Marianne
Who by fire

I was introduced to Mr. Cohen with Paperthin Hotel.... it didn't become my favorite... but

Alexandra Leaving
Democracy
Dance me to the end of love

please mr. Cohen

Alexandra Leaving (best song he has written since coming back from Mount Baldy, IMO)
Last Year's Man (In my opinion, one of the most underated songs by LC - lyrically just brilliant)
The Smokey Life (a personal favourite)


and of course, I would love to hear...

Famous Blue Raincoat
Joan of Arc (preferably done as a duet as per Jennifer Warnes)

Three possible:

Sisters of Mercy
Take This Waltz
Anthem

Three unlikelY:

I Can't Forget
The Window
A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes

(go on Leonard...surprise me!).

All the best, John E

I'm Your Man
If it be your Will
Lover Lover Lover

It's so hard to choose just three but here goes:

In my Secret Life

Hallelujah

Take This Waltz

But I also hope he plays Famous Blue Raincoat, Suzanne, So Long Marianne...........etc

Should be a very long concert

Not an easy task to chose only 3 songs, but I'd love to hear in Montreal:

Story of Isaac (to remind people that Canada is at war, there has been way too many deaths on both sides and our goverment is doing nothing to put an end to it)
Famous Blue Raincoat (cuz it's so beautiful)
Hallelujah (to see which verses he would chose)

And there's Avalanche, Chelsea Hotel #2, Sisters of Mercy, Joan of Arc, Bird on a Wire, Who by Fire, Coming Back to You (very appropriate)...

Is there a limit?

Would have been easier to ask the 3 songs we don't want to hear, I don't have any, he can play them all.

Hallelujah
One of Us Cannot be Wrong
Dance Me To The End of Love (or Take This Waltz)
Nancy
I'm your Man ( I know that makes 5...)

3. Last Year's Man
2. Waiting For The Miracle
1. Avalanche

This is soooo hard, but here goes...

- Seems so long ago, Nancy (I'm not very hopeful about this one as Leonard hasn't, to my knowledge, sung it live since the Seventies)
- Take This Waltz
- The Window

Newer stuff:
- Undertow
- The Faith
- Alexandra Leaving

But there are so many more songs I'd love to hear...Dance Me to the End of Love, Joan of Arc, Hallelujah, The Partisan, Famous Blue Raincoat.....

I'm Your Man
Alexandra Leaving
Nightingale

Irena

so long marianne
one of us cannot be wrong
kevin barry

please, in brugge, belgium, give us "un canadien errant", as so many canadians lost their lives on our grounds ; ballad of the absent mare, and of course Nancy ; I indeed heard it in a Antwerp concert in the 70's, and still find myself melting when listening.

Only one wish:

Book of Longing
as it was sung on the radio show, maybe accompanied by violin? I think this could be great with a violin solo ending (I have the (potential) violin music in my ears when when i hear the song)

two more
Never got to love you
The Partisan

one more?
Puppets, whatever happened to it, please with music!

mine must be

the guests
one of us cannot be wrong
death of a ladies' man

rather melancholic, when i come to think about it.. but there we are
