Sure Don't Feel Like Love

Today, I'll post the cracking to "Sure Don't Feel Like Love." In spite of starting with "feel like a fool" and then apparently dropping the thought, this is a more-or-less straightforward song. A good target for your first try at cracking on your own. Pay attention to the title.

Another hint? Conscience can be a good thing, your moral compass steering you through ethical choices. Or it can be a guilty conscience, a bit of remorse. The latter is more likely to be sticking to your shoe.

 
 

About Paul Simon


Simon makes references to hiking on Surprise, ("counting every step") and on You're the One ("walking with my family" and "above the treeline"). As a guess, he is a hiker. The biography sheds no light on this.
