I have an mp3 of "I Can't Forget" from the Pixies...
Where's this from? Is it from Frank Black or the Pixies?
I've done some research, but nothing came up.
the lyrics:
I stumbled out of bed
I got ready for the struggle
I smoked a cigarette
And I tightened up my gut
I said this can't be me
Must be my double
And I can't forget
And I can't forget
I can't forget but I don't remember what
I'm burning up the road
I'm heading down to Phoenix
I got this old address
Of someone that I knew
It was high and fine and free
Oh you should've seen us
And I can't forget
And I can't forget
Ican't forget but I don't remember who
I'll be there today with a big bouquet of cactus
I've got this rig that runs, runs on memory
And I promise, cross my heart they'll never catch us
But if they do just tell 'em it was me
I've loved you all my life
And that's how I want to end it
The summer's almost gone
And winter's tuning up
The summer's gone but a lot goes on forever
And I can't forget
I can't forget
I can't forget, but I don't remember what
 rock over london, rock on chicago
Why the Hell would you use the color 'beige' for your text? |

Indeed it is a cover of a Leonard Cohen tune.
fbc knows all!
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

I love the Pixies version of this song and That Petrol Emotions Stories of the Street is brilliant. Worth it for those two tracks alone.

from cohen's masterpiece "i'm your man" (late 80ies ?). this records also contains "first we take manhattan".
pixies cover should be on a sampler called "Leonhard Cohen - I'm a fan".
me thinks, there is also a jesus&mary chain cover on it ("tower of song", also from "i'm yor man"). maybe not on this sampler, but this cover exists.
I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band |

"I Can't Forget" is in the Rough Diamonds bootleg too. R.D includes "born in chicago" another rare track.

No apparantly about it, chuck. You need to hear the Beatles original to see the twist BF and the band put on the cover.
They made it their own. Amazing! |

| I saw that album in once, in Tower Records I think. Who By Fire may be my favorite Cohen song, of the few I know. |
