Why Don't You Write Me Lyrics
I'm out in the jungle
I'm hungry to hear you.
Send me a card,
I am waiting so hard
To be near you.
(La, la, la)
Why don't you write?
Something is wrong
And I know I got to be there.
Maybe I'm lost,
But I can't make the cost
Of the airfare.
Tell me why
Why
Why
Tell me why
Why
Why
A letter would brighten
My loneliest evening.
Mail it today
If it's only to say
That you're leaving me.
(La, la, la)
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come.
Tuesday, never got a word,
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,
Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
Friday, woe is me
Gonna hang my body from the highest tree.
Why don't you write me?
You're on meth. This sounds nothing like reggae. The music industry would be a lot worse off if Paul Simon had taken your advice.
Well, it's obvious that this IS an experiment with reggae elements. Not defending the original comment, though.

Obviously this song has the perspective of a soldier in 'Nam. He's out in the jungle and his wife/gf isn't writing him anymore. Common occurance. "Cost of the airfare" is probably getting wounded badly enough for a medical discharge. Drinking iodine to make the water safe to drink...
Medical discharge. Sounds perfect.
Medical discharge. Sounds perfect.
An incompetent attempt at white reggae, with pointless and self-pitying lyrics. Go on - hang yourself then, you whining git...
That is just an insult to music itself! You are obviously too incompetent to realise that the man has close to changed the world with his music. Think of "Bridge over troubled water" and of course "Graceland" - The album that changed the way we look at 'World Music'. He has built barriers with music, connecting alien societies in love and brotherhood during times of racial tension. Besides, it's not even that 'reggae' - i'd class it as more folksy perhaps with blues and pop elements - Paul Simon's style is of course very varied.
