If It Be Your Will, by Leonard Cohen.
Another one from the Pump Up The Volume soundtrack — I warned y’all it was formative — they don’t get through more than a verse of this song in the movie, and it stuck in my head so firmly that I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what it was, where to find it, which album it was on, etc., because although it’s in the movie, as noted by the Concrete Blonde version of Everybody Knows, the Leonard Cohen songs were not on the soundtrack that was released, I think? At least not the cassette I must’ve bought in 1992 or whatever. Reading up on it, Side B of Various Positions starts with Hallelujah and ends with this, and you can definitely hear some obvious bookending in the biblical-ish references.

Still have a cough, so I sought out something deep.
