Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
- as sung by Paul Simon "Slip Slidin' Away"
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Mrs. Robinson "
My life seems unreal,
My crime an illusion,
A scene badly written
In which I must play.
Yet I know as I gaze
At my young love beside me,
The morning is just a few hours away.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M."
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
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
- as sung by Paul Simon "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard"
Oh, what have I done,
Why have I done it,
I've committed a crime,
I've broken the law.
For twenty-five dollars
And pieces of silver,
I held up and robbed
A hard liquor store.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M."
New York, like a scene from all those movies
But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart
A heart that lives in New York
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "A Heart In New York"
I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are ppromises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
When I left my home
And my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared,
Laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "The Boxer"
The next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound
Of a cappella groups, yeah
Singing late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
- as sung by Paul Simon "Late In The Evening"
Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
And when I came back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away
- as sung by Paul Simon "Late In The Evening"
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 fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze
- as sung by Paul Simon "My Little Town"
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
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I aint no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy afler all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
- as sung by Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years"
And as a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Kathy's Song"
I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy afler all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
- as sung by Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years"
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Mmm...
- as sung by Paul Simon "Slip Slidin' Away"
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the tilnes they are a-changin'.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "The Times They Are A-Changin'"
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
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Mrs. Robinson "
“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 fifty ways to leave your lover
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed
The way some ladies do
When it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
- as sung by Paul Simon "Late In The Evening"
Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends "
A heart in New York, a rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat
A heart in New York, love in her eye, an open door and a friend for the night
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "A Heart In New York"
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "The Boxer"
Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Scarborough Fair "
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
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
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 fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
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
- as sung by Paul Simon "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that's all I'm gonna spend.
- as sung by Simon & Garfunkel "Red Rubber Ball"
