People say she's crazy She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes Well that's one way to lose these walking blues Diamonds on the soles of your shoes www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmf9ZJ_Yn0A Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes - written by Paul Simon and Joseph Shabalala "Track 5 of Graceland features some great, inventive bass guitar work, brass, steady percussion and, of course, Ladysmith Black Mambazo providing fantastic background vocals to start and end the track. The phrase “diamonds on the soles of her shoes” is full of imagery and symbolism when you consider the idea of placing something as valuable as a diamond on the part of the shoe that always touches the ground. It’s almost quite literally “walking on money” and even more so “trashing money”. The entire song becomes an allegory of when two extremes start to blend together. " - from the website: Genius ..

'The Dark Side of the Moon" I was the words and you were the music We were a song, sung out of tune There is a light that brightens the night-time Ah but there's a dark side of the moon I was a house and you were my window I could see light, but only through you Now I'm a house without any windows Ah there's a dark side of the moon Love is a lovely, lovely feeling Love is the light that shines from the moon There is a light that brightens the night-time Ah but there's a dark side of the moon Love is a lovely, lovely feeling Love is the light that shines from the moon There is a light that brightens the night-time Ah but there's a dark side of the moon ( Album : Off The Wall ) - Roger Miller ** EXPLORE ** (c) All Rights Reserved
