You Can Call Me Al

A little something different.

You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon)

* * *

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
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 redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
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

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo 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

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen and Hallelujah

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
Call me Al
Nah nah nah nah...

Very cool. The guitar is a little too bassy maybe. Your voice reminds me of Neil Young...very solid in the higher range. Nice slower take on a great song.

Brian, dude, that kicked ass! I listened to it once, then I realized that I had the actual video, and muted the video and listened to your version overtop of the video, hilarious stuff! :-D

Great Job Man! Keep 'em coming!

sorry for the late response, I totally forgot to critique this! Which mainly consists of complimenting you on a fine cover!!! Congrats, I thought the guitar was tight, and the vocals reminded me of someone, cant quite think of who.....Neil Young maybe? Anywho, it rocked. I would love to hear more
