Duncan
by Paul Simon
Couple in the n ...More ext room
Bound to win a prize
They've been goin' 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-ooo-oo wee 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
sayin'
"Here comes somethin'
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 playin' my guitar
lying underneath the stars
Just thankin' the Lord
for my fingers
For my fingers |

Revolution Blues
Well, we live in a trailer
At the edge of town
You never see us
'cause we don't come around.
We got twenty five rifles
Just to keep
The population down.
But we need you now,
And that's why
I'm hangin' 'rou ...More nd.
So you be good to me
And I'll be good to you,
And in this land of conditions
I'm not above suspicion
I won't attack you,
But I won't back you.
Well, it's so good to be here,
Asleep on your lawn.
Remember your guard dog?
Well, I'm afraid
That he's gone.
It was such a drag
To hear him
Whining all night long.
Yes, that was me with the doves,
Setting them free
Near the factory
Where you built your computer,
Love.
I hope you get the connection,
'cause I can't take
The rejection
I won't deceive you,
I just don't believe you.
Well, I'm a barrel of laughs,
With my carbine on
I keep 'em hoppin',
Till my ammunition's gone.
But I'm still not happy,
I feel like
There's something wrong.
I got the revolution blues,
I see bloody fountains,
And ten million dune buggies
Comin' down the mountains.
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon
Is full of famous stars,
But I hate them worse than lepers
And I'll kill them
In their cars. |

(LYRICS)
I was born in this hell, colder than the snow
I'm seven years old
people tell me now, you ...More don't have to cry
this is only for a while
but I still see the rain, the black rain in the sky
it's falling down... it's killing everyone
and I saw men shooting other men
I saw my mom fall to the ground
can't you see the damage done? can't you feel this pain?
why don't you hear what I've got to say?
can't you stop the fights? so everything could be all right
and every man could be himself
but I still cannot dream, something better than this world
'cause I've never known a life without war
and I pray closing my eyes
but nothing changes
when the sun is high I hope that it remains up there
but then the dark is here, it's everywhere
and waiting for the new day I can't sleep all night long
good morning town, sad landscape in front of my eyes...
sad landscape in front of my eyes... ... of my eyes

I was born in this hell, colder than the snow
I'm seven years old
people tell me now ...More , you don't have to cry
this is only for a while
but I still see the rain, the black rain in the sky
it's falling down... it's killing everyone
and I saw men shooting other men
I saw my mom fall to the ground
can't you see the damage done? can't you feel this pain?
