Chelsea Hotel #2

Lyrics from a Leonard Cohen song about a night with Janis Joplin:

"I remember you well at the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us,
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."
