Paul Simon wrote some great lyrics...here are the ones I love:

1. "The poor boy changes clothes and puts on aftershave / to compensate for his ordinary shoes..."

2. "The Mississippi delta was shining like a National guitar / I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the civil war..."

3. "A cooling system / Burns out the Ukraine / Trees and umbrellas / Protect us from the new rain / Armies of engineers / To analyze the soil / The food we contemplate / The water that we boil"

4. "Sometimes I see your face / as if through reading glasses / and your smile seems softer than it was"

5. "I know a man / he came from my home town / he wore his passion for his woman / like a thorny crown / He said 'Delores / I live in fear / my love for you’s so overpowering / I’m afraid that I will disappear'"

6. "A man walks down the street / It’s a street in a strange world / Maybe it’s the third world / Maybe it’s his first time around / He doesn’t speak the language / He holds no currency / He is a foreign man / He is surrounded by the sound / The sound / Cattle in the marketplace / Scatterlings and orphanages / He looks around, around / He sees angels in the architecture / Spinning in infinity / He says Amen and Hallelujah"

7. "She says 'Ooh my storybook lover / You have underestimated my power / As you shortly will discover'
Then I fall to my knees / Shake a rattle at the skies / And I’m afraid that I’ll be taken / Abandoned, forsaken / In her cold coffee eyes"

...aren't they beautiful!?
