Takes in what Lake Erie can send her

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
- Leonard Cohen, "Bird On The Wire" (His most requested song! I can't believe nobody got this!)

I'm breaking through the darkness
And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul, and I'll never die
'Cause everything I am is in your eyes
Angels in my heart, devils in my eyes
I'll live forver in your eyes
- Anthrax, "Catharsis"

Down that road that we all need
Preying on the ignorance selfishness and greed
Looking for directions
On a road that offers little guarantee

Even though you tell yourself you don't
I will love you even though you won't

Date: 2006-10-09 11:40 pm (UTC)12. Do you remember the movie "Toy Soldiers"? Where kidnapper/terrorists take over a boys academy and a group of boys manage to hide from them and one of them is a mobsters son? The mobster was played by the same actor as Brisco from Law&Order and Wil Wheaton played one of the boys, possible the one that gts shot. Anyway, this was the song from that movie.
