SONG #3
11/?/90
     The Paul Simon Song
     Recently
Obviously deals with a relationship that may make some people uneasy, the old rumor that Dave wrote it about his 8th grade girlfriend (The infamous Tonya Smithers of D+T Booger Fame???), who is black. But there does not seem to be a lot of proof to that rumor, and Dave has commented that this version is his favorite interpretation of the song, but not confirmed it to be truth.

Recently I've been
All of content and dreaming I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street

People stare and we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away

She comes to me
I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that
we never before have
Felt as recently

People stare and we just ignore
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about

She and me go to places quiet
Where we are quite alone
Kiss and we hold together
We will be until we done

People stare and we just ignore
What's the use in hiding out
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about

Both say the we never before
Never before have felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away
