What an awesome song. Makes me smile also. Such a short, short ride... |

Wow, i went to the link suggested by bakert, and was amazed at just how defensive Paul Simon seemed to the line of questioning. And fair enough, it's the songwriters right to leave the interpretation up to the listener and not have to explain what can often be a sensitive topic... Anyway, my interpretation is that it is a song about a sexual activity between the narrator (perhaps Paul himself) and Julio, e.g. as has been suggested, mutual masturbation, gay sex, a threesome etc. I'm prepared to go even further and suggest that the line "and when the radical priest came to get me released" is actually a bit of a clever play on words - read "and when the radical priest came to get me release", as in "sexual release" aka orgasm. Nice old innuendo there... |
