Paul Simon 'You Can Call Me Al' @ North Sea Jazz 2008

6/6 vids Paul Simon @ North Sea Jazz 2008

chorus:
Here comes the bass...from SouthAfrica Bakithi Kumalo!

A man walks down the street
He says, Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And whoa, 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 duckled 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....

chorus:
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your lost pal!
I can call you Betty
and Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al!

A man walks down the street
It 's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's in the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He does'n speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound, 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!
