When I was little, I used to sing along to the Paul Simon song, 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover :
"Slip out the back Jack
Make a new bandstand
Don't need to be cordroy
Just just listen to me"
How was I to know that he said,
"Make a new plan Stan
Don't need to be coy Roy",
and that the whole song was about splitting up... although the title should have given it away. I just liked the idea of building a bandstand and not having to wear cordoy
