Lyrics:
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared,
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie la la lie

Classic song and musician, I grew up in this era, and wondered why there seemingly is a shortage of quality in today’s music. Well thanks to the internet , I have found that there is an abundance of great young talent all over the world, some amazing very young children playing complicated instruments with stunning skills, and super vocals. I have concluded that the music industry may be the cause of lack of quality, as they now choose to manufacture and market what we get to see, not necessarily the best.

I grew up with you. I studied collegiate with you. I have never cared for covers; but when people only can do so, I choose things not from S&G, but from S. I am more a fan of your "music for sake of music" ideology. I was named your same name. I changed it. And I will never forget how much you have affected my life, and that of my parents. I am more of a fan of where you went after G. Thank you Paul. You don't need Art, at all. You ARE art. My grandfather was art. And I was Paul. And labels are nothing. We are music. You are carried forth, good sir.

The Boxer Look up the story of the late Louis E. Wolfson. He was a Boxer called Kid Wolf in Jacksonville Fl back when they tarred and feathered little black boys. It changed his life. A precursor to the civil rights movement. Much later Mohammad Ali had dinner at Louis’ home in Miami Beach. He fought the KKK. This song is for him.
