Paul Simon is a true hero, over the years he has brought the world many hit songs, including ‘Mrs. Robinson’, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘Graceland’ and our favourite, ‘Kodachrome’:
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
