And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy)
I'd say "Now who do,
Who do you think you're fooling?"”

Song lyrics, There Goes Rhymin' Simon (1973)

“And I want to be there when you're coming down / And I want to be there when you hit the ground
Don't go away / Say what you say / Say that you'll stay… because I need more time just to make things right
Damn my education / I can't find the words to say
Me and you, what's going on?/All we seem to know/Is how to show, the feelings that are wrong”
