50 Ways To Leave Your Lover

Oh no I’m not telling you to leave your lover. Or how to. That's the title of a 1975 Paul Simon song which I find quite amusing. The song is about a mistress telling her lover to leave his wife, and some of the ways to do it. I don’t particularly like the song but the lyrics I find very entertaining.

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free.


Doesn’t that make you laugh? I did some Googling and came across a funny article posted in one e-newspaper, The Morning News. It said that while the song title says “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” Paul Simon listed out only five, and then proceeded to list out the other forty-five, and called it 45 Additional Ways to Leave Your Lover. Find below the forty-five points, I bet you will laugh out loud. Find the whole article here.

  2. Can't think of anything witty, so will just comment on the song.Me, I've always liked the song, lyrically and musically. I like the way they roll the drums like 'military marching band'. Most appropiate Paul Simon song for me would be, 'Still Crazy After all These years'.Check out more of his song,I'm sure you will find the lyrics interesting.

  3. Stuff yourself with food, dr_feelgood.

    'Still Crazy After All These years'- it is sad and beautiful in a hopeless melancholic way. Good choice.

  6. Turn him into a fairy, diary.

    I have no idea how to make one porous. Rub him with sandpaper? Soak him in alcohol? Maybe you should just tell him to be a florist, Doris.

  9. # 5 Smother her with malice, Alice - is that supposed to suggest (1) that Alice smothers the competition, or (2) that Alice is a lesbian.. or just a plain genuine typo :))
