If it's a girl
Give her a curl
If it's a boy
Give him a toy
Hey, wait a minute!
Give the girls a toy too!
And for that matter,
Give the boys a curl!Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
A few different races came through the door
Same old friends I had before
No world matter can sway my thought
These are the best a people a person could have gotYou've changed your place in this world!0 -
It matters not what the colour
It's what's inside that counts
So share all your love with 'em
And you know it'll be returnedForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
Returned like an echo
Returned like to work
Returned like a bad present
Looking to the new yearYou've changed your place in this world!0 -
More laughs
More tear
More work
Than I've seen in yearsForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
Join the club on the lot-o-work
Nice to see the greetings upon my computer
Put a smile on my face
Two more days of the stinking placeYou've changed your place in this world!0 -
I will make a pile
I will sort and file
I will get a stone
I will get two sticks
I will get a spark
I will build a fire
I will build a spectacular fire
I will take all my piles
I will take all my files
I will watch them burn
And in turn
I will dance with tears of joy in my eyes!Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
he'd fart
she'd cry
she'd fart
he'd throw up
she'd cry
he'd goIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

He'd go
She'd cry
He'd stay
She'd cry
She'd cry all her tears
And when she was done
She'd cry some moreForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
she'd go
he'd party
she'd come back
he'd cry
she'd never return
he'd partyIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

See for her
He is life
And for him
She obsesses
But for him
She is just another pretty face
So, of course when she'd never return
He'd party
That is all that he is
And all he will ever beForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
he'd be playing
this game
over and over
againIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

He plays
Because they let him
His game
They are willing participants
He charms
They fall for it
Over and over
againForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
he'd play with
time
but time is a much better player
he is patient
and will winIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

Time waits for no one
So patient he must be
If he ever wishes to win
If he ever wants to be freeForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
where she'd be now?
them all actuallyIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

If he'd not played games
She'd be where he'd be
But alas you must ask
Where they all be
They will be memories
They will be in with another
They will be in his dreams
They will remeber him breaking their hearts
So he sits
He sits with his thoughts
Does he remeber it this way
Probably not, he's a partyForget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
time'd present with a conscienceIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

Conscience catches up
Reminds him of wrongs done
What will he do with this knowledge?
What will he do when his heart is
handed back to him on a platter?Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen0 -
take it
and understand
that is his punishment
single cup of wine
at christmas timeIt was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.
