    Simon & Garfunkel - Kodachrome / Mabellene



    "Kodachrome / Maybellene"

    When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
    It's a wonder I can think at all
    And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
    I can read the writing on the wall

    Kodachrome
    They give us those nice bright colors
    They give us the greens of summers
    Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
    I got a Nikon camera
    I love to take a photograph
    So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

    If you took all the girls I knew when I was single
    And brought them all together for one night
    I know they'd never match my sweet imagination
    Everything looks better in black and white

    Kodachrome
    They give us those nice bright colors
    They give us the greens of summers
    Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
    I got a Nikon camera
    I love to take a photograph
    So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

    Mama don't take my Kodachrome
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

    Mama don't take my Kodachrome
    Leave your boy so far from home
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

    Mama don't take my Kodachrome
    Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

    Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    You've started back doing those things you used to do

    As I was motorvatin' over the hill
    I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
    A Cadillac rollin' on the open road
    But nothing will outrace my V8 Ford
    The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
    Bumper to bumper and side by side

    Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    You've started back doing those things you used to do

    The heat cooled down, the motor cooled down
    That's when I heard that highway sound
    The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead
    Hundred and ten half a mile ahead
    The Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still
    And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

    Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    You've started back doing those things you used to do

    Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
    You've started back doing those things you used to do

    Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia




    "Cecilia"

    Celia, you're breaking my heart,
    You're shaking my confidence daily.
    Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
    I'm begging you please to come home.

    Celia, you're breaking my heart,
    You're shaking my confidence daily.
    Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
    I'm begging you please to come home.
    Come on home.
    Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
    Up in my bedroom,
    I got up to wash my face
    When I come back to bed,
    Someone's taken my place.
    Celia, you're breaking my heart,
    You're shaking my confidence daily.
    Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees,
    I'm begging you please to come home.

    Jubilation,
    She loves me again,
    I fall on the floor and I laughing.

    Jubilation,
    She loves me again,
    I fall on the floor and I laughing.

    "Cecilia": Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecili...funkel_song%29

    Excerpt: "Simon has suggested that the "Cecilia" of the title refers to St. Cecilia, patron saint of music in the Catholic tradition, and thus the song might refer to the frustration of fleeting inspiration in songwriting, the vagaries of musical fame or in a wider sense the absurdity of pop culture. The song is generally interpreted as a lament over a capricious lover who causes both anguish and jubilation to the singer."
