` diamonds `
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

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. "

Yeah, everybody knows what you're talking about.

That's long been one of my favorite albums. I once had a chance to drive in the middle of the night with my college girlfriend and a couple of her friends from home to New York City on the spur of the moment to see Paul Simon, Edie Brickell, Art Garfunkel, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and practically everybody else significant in his career in a little bar someplace in Midtown, but I had a lot going on, so I chickened out. One of the biggest regrets I have. The consequences of going to New York and ducking the things I'd have had to skip out on would have been dire, but I still wished I'd gone the other way on that.

That's an excellent moon shot, too.
