50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
I used Desktop Drums and drum pads, deep bass, heavy lead guitar, and my voice of doom.
I am very much back after a 20 year period, have a deformed left hand & severe nerve, tendon & muscle damage in right arm. I used all kinds of weird tunings.
Story behind the song
I had the 45 single, when I was growing up, and I am a big fan of Paul Simon,
Lyrics
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
Paul Simon
"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically"
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued"
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
50 ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"
I said I appreciate that, and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight?
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light"
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
50 ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Oh, you hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
