Title: The Boxer
Artist: Simon & Garfunkel
Album: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Year: 1970

Lyrics:

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm

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-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Hmm

Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Still as great as the first time I heard it back in 1969 and played it on the radio countless times as a Disk Jockey. A unique song that will live on.

젊은날, 나에게 힘을 주던 음악..너무 좋아한 음악....the boxer..이음악 리듬에 맞춰,
회사에서 온종일 문서 tyeing하며, 지루함을 모르고..힘을 내서 일했다.
세월이 흘러도 지금도 나에게 활기를 주는..나를 움직이게 하는 음악...

[giansingh]

It was during my school days. Wow, this song I wish I could go back in time, my friends. The best days of my life were during my school days... ever. I m 65 years old and got a shock after hearing it again after so long, and yet the memories keep coming back. I have lost some of my friends and just want to express my feelings to all children's. Love you all very much and take good care of have grown so fast. ❤

[bernardadams]

Been listening to this for years and only now noticed the jaw harp in places.

[slumdogpreacher]

"All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest..."
So true in my life as I have seen it played out in all arenas; especially in today's politics! BE CAREFUL FOLKS.

[Gwenael-nhov]

When i left my home and family i was no more than a child. And now people yell at me to become a gentleman. What a joke !

[linscrattish]

Close your eyes and go back to a time when we in touch with our better half

[neilsimn]

It's not about a boxer its about a person who heard fools' advice on this is how you should live and even though he could go back home he tried to make the fools advice work over and over and now he has all the scars from it not working. Now at the end he knows he should go back home but he doesn't again.
