Lmao I was just scrolling through to see other answers while trying to decide if I really felt that strongly negative about the musicality of Closing Time.

Closing time has funny lyrics and is good for ending the concert on a lighter note

I don't disagree the lyrics are his usual clever and thoughtful self. Just not a fan of some of the instrumentation.

It’s not in my top 100. But it’s better than “Jazz poooolice I hear you calling, Jazz poooLeeeeece I feel so blue, Jazz pOooooolice…”

And yet... I love it. So cringey when I first heard it. I might choose another Montreal artist though.... "My body is a cage...." Arcade fire sure stuck with the dumbest metaphor on that literary and musical turd.

Haha I like that bit! Reminds me of the Star Trek theme tune. Which is the main thing I'm looking for in a Leonard Cohen song, obviously.
