also want to comment that, while listening to my collection of S&G, i realised that both Anji and Somewhere They Can't Find Me begin with the same intro. Seems pretty interesting to me. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – Keep The Customer Satisfied Lyrics
| 16 years ago

My family and I always joke around about Simon & Garfunkel songs being about drugs, solely because of the era the songs were written in. But I don't believe any of their songs are about drugs, this one included.
To me, seems like this is about a musician just starting out. No agent or anything, the only way to get started would be to play on the streets. Street musician being "one step ahead of the shoe shine". "Slandered, libled, hear words I never heard in the Bible" meaning he's constantly being criticized and cursed at (doesn't seem like too many people like street musicians for some reason). "Two steps away from the county line" means he doesn't stay too long in one city, because the people will eventual get sick of him and run him out of town (thus the deputy sheriff verse). "I'm so tired" part at the end means exactly that: he's tired of doing the same thing over and over again ("it's the same old story everywhere I go"), but feels obligated to make his music heard ("Just trying to keep the customer satisfied").
That's my interpretation of the song. Comments on the song: love it! Great lyrics, tune, and music. Love S&G's music. |

unfortunately, there will never be peace. so all we can do is hope that it is not "strategic" for one country to destroy another, and pray to God that He'll protect us. |

| Relient K – I'm Taking You With Me Lyrics

Personally, I see this song as being about a girl. When I listen and sing to this song, it makes think about a girl I really like. The one line, "'Cause every second that goes by, I feel is just a waste of time if I'm not with you" is exactly how I feel on the weekends when I don't see her. Also, this line, "So I'm trying to hold it all together and make it through the day When I'm just dying to drop it all and take your hand So we could run away From all the miles and the hours that seem to endlessly devour the time that I could be with you" is exactly how I feel. I wish I could just spend some time with her to talk and enjoy her company, but it seems like there's always SOMETHING going on to get in the way of that.
Anyhow, I'm not saying its not about God, because to someone in a different situation in their life, this song COULD be about God to them. But where I'm at in my life right now, in my spirirtual and physical life, this song reminds me of the girl that I really like, not God. |
