paul simon - i don t believe
Acts of kindness, like breadcrumbs in a fairytale forest
Lead us past dangers as light melts the darkness
But I don't believe, and I'm not consoled
I lean closer to the fire, but I'm cold
The earth was born in a storm
The waters receded, the mountains were formed
"The universe loves a drama," you know
And ladies and gentlemen this is the show
I got a call from my broker
The broker informed me I'm broke
I was dealing my last hand of poker
My cards were useless as smoke
Oh, guardian angel
Don't taunt me like this, on a clear summer evening as soft as a kiss
My children are laughing, not a whisper of care
My love is brushing her long chestnut hair
I don't believe a heart can be filled to the brim
Then vanish like mist as though life were a whim
Maybe the heart is part of the mist
And that's all that there is or could ever exist
Maybe and maybe and maybe some more
Maybe's the exit that I'm looking for
I got a call from my broker
The broker said he was mistaken
Maybe some virus or brokerage joke
And he hopes that my faith isn't shaken
Acts of kindness
Like rain in a draught
Release the spirit with a whoop and a shout
I don't believe we were born to be sheep in a flock
To pantomime prayers with the hands of a clock
paul simon - long, long day
It?s been a long, long day
I got some run-down shoes
Ain?t got no place to stay
But any old place will be okay
It?s been a long, long day
I sure been on this road
Done nearly fourteen years
Can?t say my name?s well known
You don?t see my face in rolling stone
But I sure been on this road
Slow motion
Half a dollar bill
Jukebox in the corner
Shooting to kill
And it?s been a...
It?s been a long, long day
I sure could use a friend
Don?t know what else to say
I hate to abuse an old cliche
But it?s been a long, long day
Its been a long, long day
paul simon - 10 years
10 Years (Oprah Winfrey show 10 year anniversary theme)
You are moving on a crowded street
Through various shades of people
In the summers harshest heat
A story in your eye
Well, speak until your minds at ease
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well be dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
A fortune rises to the sky
Ten years come and gone so fast
You are driving down an empty road
Beside a shady river
When the sky turns dark as stone
The trees begin to shiver
The grace of God is nigh
Ten years come and gone
And that flash has never been forgotten
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
How do the powerless survive
Ten years come and gone so fast
And if you look into your future life
Ten years from this question
Do you imagine a familiar light
Burning in the distance
The love that never died
Ten years come and gone so fast
I might as well be dreaming
Sunny days have burned a path
Across another season
Ten years come and gone so fast
paul simon - 50 ways to leave your lover
The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I?d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it?s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won?t be lost or misconstrued
But I?ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You don?t need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You don?t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free
Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You don?t need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, gus
You don?t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don?t we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you?ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You don?t need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You don?t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free
You just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You don?t need to be coy, roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, gus
You don?t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free
paul simon - a church is burning
A church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying, aglow in the sky
Like hands that are praying, the fire is saying
?You can burn down my churches, but I shall be free?
Three hooded men thru the back road did creep
Torches in their hands, while the village lies asleep
Down to the church, where just hours before
Voices were singing and hands were beating
And saying ?I won?t be a slave any more?
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying, aglow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying
?You can burn down my churches, but I shall be free?
Three hooded men, their hands lit the spark
Then they faded in the night, and they vanished in the dark
And in the cold light of morning, there?s nothing that remains
But the ashes of a Bible and can of kerosene
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying, aglow in the sky
Like hands that are praying, the fire is saying
?You can burn down my churches, but I shall be free?
A church is more than just timber and stone
And freedom is a dark road when you?re walking it alone
But the future is now, and it?s time to take a stand
So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land
And a church is burning
The flames rise higher
Like hands that are praying, aglow in the sky
Like hands that are praying the fire is saying
?You can burn down our churches, but I shall be free?
paul simon - a heart in new york
New York - to that tall skyline I come
Flyin' in from London to your door.
New York - lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark.
New York - like a scene from all those movies.
But you're real enough to me
For there's a heart,
A heart that lives in New York.
A heart in New York, arose on the street.
I write my song to that city heartbeat.
A heart in New York - the love in her eyes.
An open door and a friend for the night.
New York - you got money on your mind
And my words won't make a dime's worth of difference.
So here's to you New York
paul simon - a most peculiar man
He was a most peculiar man
That's what Mrs. Reardon says
and she should know
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man
He was a most peculiar man
He lived all alone within a house
Within a room, within himself
A most peculiar man
He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't
care
And he wasn't like them
O, no-o-o!
He was a most peculiar man
He died last Sat-ur-day...
He turned on the gas! and he went to sleep!
With the windows closed!
So he'd never wake up!
To his silent world!
and his tiny room!
And Mrs Reardon says he has a brother somewhere!
Who should be notified so-oo-oon...
And all the people said,
What a shame that he's dead,
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?
paul simon - ace in the hole
Some people say jesus is the ace in the hole
But i never met the man so i don't really know
Maybe some christmas if i'm sick and alone
He will look up my number
Call me on the phone and say
Hey boy, where you been so long
Don't you know me
I'm your ace in the hole (clarence franklin)
Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole
When i'm down, dirty and desesperate
That's my emergency bank roll (i got)
Two hundred dollars, that's the price on the street
If you wanna get some quality
That's the price you got to meet (and the man says)
Hey, junior, where you been so long
Don't you know me
I'm your ace in the hole (talk about the ace in the hole)
Once i was crazy and my ace in the hole
Was that i knew that i was crazy
So i never lost my self-control
I'd just walk in the middle of the road
I'd sleep in the middle of the bed
I'd stop in the middle of a sentence
And the voice in the middle of my head said
Hey, junior, where you been so long
Don't you know me
I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah)
Ace in the hole
Lead on me
Don't you know me
I'm your guarantee
Riding on this rolling bus
Beneath a stony sky
With a slow moon rising
And the smokestacks drifting by
In the hour when the heart is weakest
And the memory is strong
When time has stopped
But the bus rolls along
Roll on, roll on,
Roll on, roll on,
Roll on, roll on, (ooooh )
Some people say music is the ace in the hole
Just ordinary rhythm and blues
Your basic rock'n roll
You can sit on the top of the beat
You can lean on the side of the beat
You can hang from the bottom of the beat
But you got to admit that music is sweet
Where you been so long
Don't you know me
I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah)
Ace in the hole
Lead on me
Don't you know mw
I'm your guarantee
Some people say music is the ace in the hole
Just ordinary rhythm and blues
Your basic rock'n roll
You can sit on the top of the beat
You can lean on the side of the beat
You can hang from the bottom of the beat
But you got to admit that music is sweet
Hey junior, i'm your ace in the hole (i'm calling you)
Hey junior, i'm your ace in the hole (i'm calling you)
Hey junior, i'm your ace in the hole (i'm calling you)
Hey junior, i'm your ace in the hole
paul simon - adios hermanos
Sal
It was the morning of october 6th, 1960
I was wearing my brown suit
Preparing to leave the house of d.
Shook some hands then adios brooklyn amigos
Maybe some of them had hopes of seeing me again
Some even said that my judge-judge gerald culkin-
Wouldn?t play it by the book
Maybe let us off the hook
But, woh-oo-woh, I knew better.
Sal & salvador
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
Sal
The blancos and the nigger gangs
Well, they?d kill you if they could.
Aurea & women
Angel of mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
Spanish children are taught on their knees to believe
Angel of mercy, people are suffering
All over the island tonight,
Mothers weep
Sal & aurea
Sisters grieve.
Sal
Well, I entered the courtroom, state of new york
County of new york, just some spic
They scrubbed off the sidewalk
Guilty by my dress
Guilty in the press
Let the capeman burn for the murder
Well the ?spanish boys? had their day in court
And now it was time for some fuckin? law and order
The electric chair
For the greasy pair
Said the judge to the court reporter
Sal & salvador
Afraid to leave the projects
To cross into another neighborhood
Salvador
The newspapers and the t.v. crews
Well, they?d kill you if they could
Aurea & women
Angel of mercy, people are suffering
All over the world
A spanish boy could be killed every night of the week
Sal
But just let some white boy die
And the world goes crazy for blood-latin blood.
I don?t lie when I speak.
Sal & salvador
Well they shackled my hands
Sal
A heavy belt around my waist to restrain me
Sal & salvador
And they shackled my legs
Sal
Hernandez, the ?umbrella man,? chained beside me
Then we rode that black maria
Through the streets of spanish harlem
Calling old friends on the corners
Sal & aurea
Just to lay our prayers upon them
Sal
Crying
Adios hermanos, adios
Sal & salvador
Adios hermanos, adios
paul simon - all around the world or the myth of fingerprints
Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives a former talk-show host
Everybody knows his name
He says there?s no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
I?ve seen them all and man
They?re all the same
Well, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what?s a better thing to do
Well, it?s not just me
And it?s not just you
This is all around the world
Out in the indian ocean somewhere
There?s a former army post
Abandoned now just like the war
And there?s no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That?s what that old army post was for
Well, the sun gets bloody
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what?s a better thing to do
Well, it?s not just me
And it?s not just you
This is all around the world
Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives the former talk-show host
Far and wide his name was known
He said there?s no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That?s why we must learn to live alone
paul simon - all because of you
I went to my doctor
I said
Give me some relief
He said
Tell me what's the matter with you, boy...
I said
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because you wouldn't say, I do
So I went to my drugstore
I said
Do the drugs on me...
He said
Oh, what can you do
When it's all because of you
You know, it's all because you wouldn't say, I do
Ain't nobody loves me
Nobody needs my love
This is my only life
(...)
Holy Moses, what's this goin' on
I said
I can't believe it's true
Brain's all messed up, can't be straight
And it's all because of you
That's right, it's all because of you
Yes, it's all because of you
It's all because you would not say we're through
So I went to the gypsy woman
I said
Give me some relief
She said
I ain't got no potions and no special kind of weed
She said
I'll tell you what to do
She said, I'll tell you what to do,
She said, go away, take a week or two
I ain't got nobody
Ever since you been gone
Love is an...
Going away, another lover
Is an easy game
I won the same way too
Said it's all because of you
All because of you
All because of you
All
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I said
It's all because of you
All because of you
That's right, it's all because of you

Maladies
Melodies
Allergies to dust and grain
Maladies
Remedies
Still these allergies remain
My hand can?t touch a guitar string
My fingers just burn and ache
My head intercedes with my bodily needs
And my body won?t give it a break
My heart can stand a disaster
My heart can take a disgrace
But my heart is allergic
To the women I love
And it?s changing the shape of my face
Allergies
Allergies
Something?s living on my skin
Doctor please
Doctor please
Open up it?s me again
I go to a famous physician
I sleep in the local hotel
From what I can see of the people like me
We get better
But we never get well
So I ask myself this question
It?s a question I often repeat
Where do allergies go
When it?s after a show
And they want to get something to eat?
Allergies
Allergies
Something?s living on my skin
Doctor please
Doctor please
Open up it?s me again

paul simon - america
Let us be lovers we?ll marry our fortunes together
I?ve got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and mrs. wagner pies
And we walked off to look for america
Kathy, I said as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
I?ve gone to look for america
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette, I think there?s one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
Kathy, I?m lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I?m empty and aching and I don?t know why
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
They?ve all gone to look for america
All gone to look for america
All gone to look for america
paul simon - american tune
Many?s the time I?ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I?m alright, I?m alright
I?m just weary to my bones
Still, you don?t expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far a-way from home, so far away from home
I don?t know a soul who?s not been battered
I don?t have a friend who feels at ease
I don?t know a dream that?s not been shattered
Or driven to it?s knees
Oh, but it?s alright, it?s alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
Road we?re traveling on
I wonder what?s gone wrong
I can?t help it, I wonder what?s gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the a-ge?s most uncertain hours
And sing an american tune
Oh, and it?s alright, it?s alright, it?s alright
You can?t be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow?s going to be another working day
And I?m trying to get some rest
That?s all I?m trying to get some rest
