there is a girl in new york city who calls herself the human trampoline....
a man walks down the street,
he says why am i soft in the middle
the rest of my life is so hard
i need a photo opportunity
i want a shot at redepmtion
don't wanna end up a cartoon
in a cartoon graveyard
"Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers.
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Lie-la-lie . . . "
re: a woman who was a wife
these are the very words she uses to describe her life, she says "a good day ain't got no rain", she says "a bad day's when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been"...
I've grown up with the Graceland album in the background. So you might say it's a natural part of me.
Only heard the Simon & Garfunkel but I love the music. He did an awesome version of Surfer Girl at the Brian Wilson tribute.
I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost it's bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
we had a lot of fun, we had a lot of money.
we had a little son, we thought we'd call him sonny.
sonny gets married and moves away.
sonny has a baby and bills to pay
sonny gets sunnier day by day by day...
ah........
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
A winding river
Gets wound around a heart. Pull it
Tighter and tighter
Until the muddy waters part
Down by the river bank
A blues band arrives
The music suffers
The music business thrives
good happy/sad music.
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
Quote from: Jeremy BlackmanThe music suffers

Fucking haunting line, eh? It's always kinda chilled me.
"Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see
Remind me that I long to be
Homeward bound..."

Y'know what? After posting this, I went home and listened to this song, and realized I fucked up the lyric. Damn do I feel stupid. Still is a good line, but definitely doesn't mean the same. Here's the proper lyrics:
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
Many apologies for mis-representing Paul
buuuuump
A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And why are my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
