Moving On - Children of the Children of God

I'm taking it into my own hands
In this man's land I can understand
Why I'm taking command
Had enough of stuff
And now it's time to think about me, me yeah

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

I've always played it safe nothing's ever safe
Give me the courage to back my own convictions
Every decision I make I pay it back and more
Now turn the cards and let them fall to me
Cos I don't need to play on with the hand that they have given me
I'll give it back cos it's not the way it has to be

And you can easily gamble your life away
Second after second
And day by day
You play the game or you walk away
It's a new turn on a blue day
And a cool deal of life for me
And it's all good

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

Yes, half of that Song was wrongly credited to who?...suga-wha? instead of Sting's 'Shape of My Heart'.

Some of those lyrics are also in the song "Shape of My Heart" by Sting for the move "The Professional". One of my favorites.

Maybe one of your intelligent older sisters could introduce you to the ENTER key. Or the editor of this section could get off her lazy ass and ACTUALLY EDIT SOMETHING!!!

Oh Joe, I can see your yearbook entry now.

Most likely to be judge on:
a. National Spelling Bee
b. American Idol
c. Figure skating

I have to say, every time you deliver one of your reviews on something here I have this picture in my head of you holding up your scorecards (8.5, 7.2, 6.1) :)

Actually I personally think you should look into a career in QA when you graduate from comp sci. You have a driving ability to spot flaws in anything, as well as a burning desire to report them, and unlike the Family (where criticism is the Devil speaking/God's voice of correction), or the real world (where it's just annoying), IT depends on people like you for product development, and you could make a great career from that. Microsoft could totally use your skills (and I would totally give you a reference--although I would ask that you leave my sisters alone first).
