Mother and Child Reunion
(Paul Simon)
No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine I can't for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just don't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine I just can't believe It's so Though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a moment away
Duncan
(Paul Simon)
Couple in the next room Bound to win a prize They've been going at it all night long Well, I'm trying to get some sleep But these motel walls are cheap Lincoln Duncan is my name And here's my song, here's my song. My father was a fisherman My mama was the fisherman's friend And I was born in the boredom And the chowder So when I reached my prime I left my home in the Maritimes Headed down the turnpike for New England, sweet New England Holes In my confidence Holes In the knees of my jeans I was left without a penny in my pocket Oo-we I was about destituted As a kid could be And I wished I wore a ring So I could hock it, I'd like to hock it. A young girl in a parking lot Was preaching to a crowd Singing sacred songs and reading From the Bible Well, I told her I was lost And she told me all about the Pentecost And I seen that girl as the road To my survival Just later on the very same night When I crept to her tent with a flashlight And my long years of innocence ended Well, she took me to the woods Saying here comes something and it feels so good And just like a dog I was befriended, I was befriended. Oh, oh, what a night Oh what a garden of delight Even now that sweet memory lingers I was playing my guitar Lying underneath the stars Just thanking the Lord For my fingers, For my fingers
Everything Put Together Falls Apart
(Paul Simon)
Paraphernalia Never hides your broken bones And I don't know why You want to try It's plain to see you're on your own Oh, I ain't blind, no Some folks are crazy Others walk that borderline Watch what you're doing Taking downs to get off to sleep And ups to start you on your way After a while they'll change your style I see it happening every day Oh spare your heart Everything put together Sooner or later falls apart There's nothing to it, nothing to it And you can cry You can lie For all the good it'll do you You can die But when It's done And the police come, and they lay you down for dead Just remember what I said
Run That Body Down
(Paul Simon)
Went to my doctor yesterday She said I seem to be O.K. She said "Paul, you better look around How long you think that you can Run that body down? How many nights you think that you can Do what you been doin' Who you foolin?" I came back home and I went to bed I was resting my head My wife came in and she said "What's wrong, sweet boy, what's wrong Ah, I told her what's wrong I said "Peg, you better look around How long you think that you can Run that body down? How many nights you think that you can Do what you been doin' Now, who you foolin?" Kid, you better look around How long you think that you can Run that body down? How many nights you think that you can Do what you been doin' Who you foolin?
Armistice Day
(Paul Simon)
On Armistice Day The Philharmonic will play But the songs that we sing Will be sad Shufflin brown tunes Hanging around No long drawn blown out excuses Were made When I needed a friend she was there Just like an easy chair Armistice Day Armistice Day That's all I really wanted to say Oh I'm weary from wailing In Washington D.C. I'm coming to see my Congressman But he's avoiding me Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C. Oh Congresswoman Won't you tell that Congressman I've waited such a long time I've about waited all I can Oh Congresswoman Won't you tell that Congressman
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
(Paul Simon)
The mama pajama rolled out of bed And she ran to the police station When Ihe papa found out he began to shout And he started the investigation It's against the law It was against the law What the mama saw It was against the law The mama looked down and spit on the ground Everytime my name gets mentioned The papa said oy if I get that boy I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention Well I'm on my way I don't know where I'm going I'm on my way I'm taking my time But I don'l know where Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona See you, me and Julio Down by the schootyard See you, me and Julio Down by the schoolyard Me and Julio down by the schoolyard In a couple of days they come and Take me away But the press let the story leak And when the radical priest Come to get me released We was all on the cover of Newsweek And I'm on my way I don't know where I'm going I'm on my way I'm taking my time But I don't know where Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona See you, me and Julio Down by the schoolyard See you, me and Julio Down by the schoolyard See you, me and Julio Down by the schoolyard
Peace Like a River
(Paul Simon)
Peace like a river ran through the city Long past the midnight curfew We sat starry-eyed We were satisfied And I remember Misinformation followed us like a plague Nobody knew from time to time If the plans were changed If the plans were changed. You can beat us with wires You can beat us with chains You can run out your rules But you know you can't outrun the history trair I've seen a glorious day. Four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams Nowhere to go but back to sleep But I'm reconciled Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for awhile
Papa Hobo
(Paul Simon)
It's carbon and monoxide The ole Detroit perfume And it hangs on the highways In the morning And it lays you down by noon Oh Papa Hobo You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy But I feel like a clown It's a natural reaction I learned in this basketball town Sweep up I been sweeping up the tips I've made I been living on Gatoraae Planning my getaway Detroit, Detroit Got a hell of a hockey team Got a left-handed way Of making a man sign up on that Automotive dream, oh yeah Oh Papa Papa Hobo Could you slip me a ride Well, It's just after breakfast I'm in the road And the weatherman lied
Paranoia Blues
(Paul Simon)
I got some so-called friends They'll smile right to my face But, when my back Is turned They'd like to stick it to me Yes they would Oh no no, oh no no There's only one thing I need to know Whose side are you on I fly into J.F.K. My heart goes boom boom boom I know that customs man He's going to take me To that little room Oh no, no. Oh no, no There's only one thing I need to know Whose side are you on Whose side are you on I got the paranoia blues From knockin' around In New York City Where they roll you for a nickel And they stick you for the extra dime Anyway you choose You're bound to lose in New York City Oh I just got out in the nick of time Well I just got out in the nick of time Once I was down in Chinatown I was eating some Lin's Chow Fon I happened to turn around And when I looked I see My Chow Fon's gone Oh no, no. Oh no, no There's only one thing I need to know Whose side are you on, whose side are you on There's only one thing I need to know Whose side, whose side, whose side
Congratulations
(Paul Simon)
Congratulations Oh, seems like you've done It again And I ain't had such misery Since I don't know when Oh, and I don't know when, oh, and I don't know when I notice so many people Slipping away And many more waiting in the lines In the courtrooms today In the courtrooms today Love is not a game Love Is not a toy Love's no romance Love will do you in And love will wash you out And needless to say You won't stand a chance, you won't stand a chance I'm hungry for learning Won't you answer me please Can a man a woman Live together in peace Oh, live together in peace
