Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

New Post (76) : Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

EL CONDOR PASA (IF I could)
By Simon and Garfunkel

“I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would”.

***The refrain is most memorable--------------Yes I would, if I could, I surely would.

I’d rather pick an honest bloke than a crooked politician
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would.

Pity !---that---"Honest-Politician" is an "OXY-MORON". (a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms).
