The moonlight overthrew ya

How to shoot at someone who outdrew ya

I usually like and often love Leonard Cohen's songs and albums, but I have always thought that song is an overrated piece of crap. (Not because of those rhymes; I often get a kick out of goofy forced rhymes [see "Angelina" by Bob Dylan, which is swell]).

"Brylcream . . . a little dab'll do ya."

"Take my advice, I'm only tryin' to school ya."

OK, that's enough for 7AM.
