brushwolfAlso;
I figured that Paul Simon was actually singing about a girl named "Cecilia," because you'd have to be a real pervert, and/or around some truly huge legless lizards, to make love in the afternoon to caecilia up in your bedroom.
It hadn't occured to me that he might be singing about members of the Roman house of Caecilia, who I'm assuming weren't lizards. This isn't much better, admittedly; thanks to watching every episode of "I, Claudius," I know that getting it on with Roman nobility is a terrible idea.
Anyway, I only figured out this morning that the line is actually Jubilation! She loves me again. Previously, I just didn't understand why the response to "she loves me again!" would be "Euthanasia!" It made more sense that his response might be "Inflammation!" but how many people really write songs about their VD?
