Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

This is a song written and performed by Paul Simon, from his album 'Graceland', released in 1986.

It is about a short relationship Paul Simon had with a diamond mine owner's daughter, while recording in South Africa. She was very rich and privileged, yet she acted very down to earth, like a poor girl.

It has backing vocals from the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

diamonds on the soles of their shoes

Absolutely filthy rich. From the Paul Simon song title from Graceland (1986).
Look at those nouveaux-riches types at the boarding school on sports day. They want everyone to know they have diamonds on the soles of their shoes.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

One of The Beatles famous songs. Many people think its song about LSD but, it's not. The song was inspired by John Lennon's son, Julian. He brought home a drawing of a girl in his class, named Lucy, and she was floating in the air and he drew stars around her. Julian named the drawing: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

It has nothing to do with LSD, it's all a kids song.
Hey let's go listen to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!

Sure, wait we needa be high first!

No man, its not about LSD.....
