az- Graceland: Paul Simon: Music
every song.

these are the days of miracle & wonder, this is the long distance call. the way the camera follows us in slow-mo, the way we look to us all. the way we look to a distant constellation that's dying in a corner of the sky. these are the days of miracle & wonder, and don't cry baby don't cry don't cry.
boy in the bubble with the babbling heart and I believe-
this one's pretty outstanding, as well (as title song), ~ classic or what's the word.

..a national guitar. I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the civil war. I'm going to Graceland, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. Poor boys, and pilgrims, with families, and we are going to Graceland.

..what I said, we come and we go. that's a thing that I keep in the back of my head. I know what I know, I've seen what I said. we come and we go. that's a thing that I keep in the back of my head. She said there's something about you that really reminds me of money. She was the kind of girl who could say things that weren't that

was in the early morning hours when I fell into a phone call. believing I had supernatural powers I slammed into a brick wall. I said hey is this my problem, is this my fault? if that's the way it's gonna be I'm gonna call the whole thing to a halt. You don't feel you could love me but I feel you could.
-breakdowns, call 'em breakdowns, what are you gonna do about it that's what's what I'd like to know.

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes. Diamonds on the soles of her shoe-oes.
and I could say ooh ooh ooh ooooooh as if everybody knows what I'm talking about, as if everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about. talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal. I can call you Betty and Betty when you call me you can call me Al. A man walks down the street, says why am I short of attention, got a short little span of attention, and all my nights are so long. where's my wife and family, what if I die here? who'll be my role model, now that my role model is gone gone gone
-jumped back in the alley

this is the story of how we begin to remember, this is the powerful pulsing of love in the veins. after the dream of falling & calling your name out, these are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain.
dusk Kythera the little church I have gone running, listen to this, & to M Etheridge "I remember how we used to love to dance" and Tracy Chapman "New Beginning"

Homeless. we are Homeless. Moonlight ~~ing on a midnight _.
ok maybe the least to me.

as a lonely little wrinkle. He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, or this. And I don't seem to be happy about that. I don't want no part of this crazy love. I don't want no part of your love. I don't want no part of this crazy love, I don't want no part of your love.

cajun girls dancing the xylophone...
-well that was your mother, and that was your father, a long time ago boy when life was sweet.
-walkin together down the very same street. why don't we get together & call ourselves an institution?

it was the myth of fingerprints. I've seen them all and man they're all the same. awesome.
well the sun gets weary and the sun goes down. ever since the watermelon. and the lights come up on the black hill town. somebody set look you've better thing to do. well it's not just me and it's not just you
-this is all around the world

every song is outstanding. and the words, feels like do not make sense, it's a private language and happens to be one that I understand, very nearly, closely ~ I can say oooooh as if everyone hear would know exactly what I was talking about and don't cry baby don't don't cry these are the days of miracle and wonder this is a long distance call I've seen them all and man they're all the same this is all around the world.
this is the story of how we begin to remember. after the dream of falling and calling your name out
