Shaking My Confidence
If I ever meet Paul Simon, I have a question I have gotta ask him.
In that song, Cecelia….am I hearing this right…he and Cecelia are in the bed doing their thang one afternoon, he gets up, washes his face (how long does that take? 2 minutes) Comes back and there’s another feller in his bed? Then, moments later, Cecelia loves him again? Or is it a thing where Cecelia leaves with the guy and then returns later on?
That’s just weird to me. I’ve known that song forever and that has always bugged me about it. What kinda ho is Cecelia anyway? And why would the narrator want somebody who’d bring a dude to bed when he gets up to go warsh his face????
I guess some things in pop music aren’t meant to be understood.

Maybe the other guy had been patiently hiding within the closet until Paul went to wash his face.
Anyway, I agree that many pop song lyrics are weird, I mean, why did that girl cry at her party? Just because she wanted to?
