We played this for a very long time, but it's been a while, so I thought we could start it again.
Here's how it works: I post a few lines or a verse from a song -- DO NOT post the whole song, as that amounts to copyright infringement. You post some lyrics from another song that contains a functional* word or phrase from my lyrics, putting the linkword in <b>bold</b>. And so on. *Linkwords like "river" and "strawberry" are good; linkwords like "this" and "you" aren't.

"Hallelujah" was written by Leonard Cohen.
I realize we've been putting down performers rather than writers generally, but since there are several relatively popular versions of this song (see this wiki page), and since RW does write most of the songs he performs, I thought it might be a valid point to make.
