Answer these using the lyrics of just ONE band:

Band: Simon & Garfunkel

1. Are you male or female?
Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

2. Describe yourself:
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

~//~
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough

~//~
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free

3. How do they (THEY? WHO IS THEY?) feel about you?
They call me Baby Driver
And once upon a pair of wheels
Hit the road and I'm gone

4. How do you feel about yourself?
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend?
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy
And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving
And tonight will be all I have left to recall

6. What would you rather be doing?
Homeward Bound, I wish I was Homeward Bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

~//~
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

7. Describe where you live:
The story's in the past with nothing to recall
I've got my life to live, and I don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my tickets with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

8. Describe how you love:
Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile

This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life

Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking

Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside

9. Share a few words of wisdom:
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls"

~//~
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
