1.The Boy In The Bubble(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-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 and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry
It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
And the mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all, oh yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry
It's a turn around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art, they know
The boy in the bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are day's of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all, oh yeah
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
2.Graceland(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
The Mississippi delta aas shining like 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
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her
forehead
And she said losing love is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
I'm going to Graceland
Memphis
Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland
There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the human
trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling
Flying or tumbling in turmoil I say, 'Whoa'
'So this is what she means'
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
In Graceland
In Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
And I may be obliged to defend every love
Every ending or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in
Graceland
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Whoa
In Graceland
In Graceland
In Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
3.I Know What I Know(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
she looked me over
and i guess she thought
i was all right
all right in a sort of a limited way
for an off-night
she said don't i know you
from the cinematographer's party
i said who am i
to blow against the wind
i know what i know
i'll sing 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 is the kind of a girl
who could say things that
were'nt that funny
i said what does that mean
i really remind you of money
she said who am i
to blow against the wind
i know what i know
i'll sing what i said
we come and we go
that's a thing that i keep
in the back of my head
she moved so easily
all i could think of was sunlight
i said aren't you the woman
who was recently given a Fullbright
she said doont i know you
from the cinematographer's party
i said who am i
to blow against the wind
i know what i know
i'll sing what i said
we come and we go
that's a thing that i keep
in the back of my head
4.Gumboots(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
I was having this discussion
In a taxy heading downtown
rearranging my position
on this friend of mine who had
a little bit of a breakdown
i said breakdowns come
and breakdowns go
so what are you going to do about it
that's what i'd like to know
you don't feel you could love me
but i feel you could
it 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 going to be
i'm going to call the whole thing to a halt
You don't feel you could love me
but i feel you could
you don't feel you could love me
but i feel you could
i was walking down the street
when i thought i heard this voice say
say, ain't we walking down the same street together
on the very same day
i said hey senorita, that's astute
i said why don't we get together
and call ourselves an institute
You don't feel you could love me
but i feel you could
you don't feel you could love me
but i feel you could

6.You Can Call Me Al(Remastered LP Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
A man walks down the street,
He says, Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard!
I need a photo-opportunity,
I want a shot at redemption!
Don't want to end up a cartoon,
In a cartoon graveyard .....
Bonedigger, Bonedigger,
Dogs in the moonlight.
Far away, my well-lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
Get these mutts away from me!
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore ....
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,
He says, Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention,
And whoa, 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,
He ducked back down the alley,
With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl.
All along .... along ....
There were incidents and accidents,
There were hints and allegations .....
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!
Call me Al ......
Instrumental
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, 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!
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!
You can call me Al ......
na, na, na, na, na etc
7.Under African Skies(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
Joseph's face was black as night, the pale yellow moon shone in
his eyes
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
and he walked his days under African skies
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 and calling your name out
These are the roots of rythm and the roots of rythm and rain
In early memory, mission music was ringing around my nursury
door
I said take this child, Lord, from Tucson Arizona
Give her the wings to fly from harm
and she won't bother you no more
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 and calling your name out
These are the roots of rythm and the roots of rythm and rain
Chant-like duet with harmony:
A-oom-ba-oom-ba-oom-ba-Oooooooooooooh
Repeat x 4
Josephs face was as black as the night
and the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
and he walked the length of his days under African skies.

作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
Fat Charlie the Archangel
Sloped into the room
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys
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
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 this crazy love
She says she knows about jokes
This time the joke is on me
Well, I have no opinion about that
And I have no opinion about me
Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It's all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
On the evening news
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
Fat Charlie the Archangel
Files for divorce
He says well this will eat up a year of my life
And then there's all that weight to be lost
She says the joke is on me
I say the joke is on her
I said I have no opinion about that
Well, we'll just have to wait and confer
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
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

10.That Was Your Mother(Remastered Album Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
A long time ago, yeah
Before you was born dude
When I was still single
And life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That kept me moving from state to state
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco
Along come a young girl
She's pretty as a prayerbook
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said good gracious can this be my luck
If that's my prayerbook
Lord let us pray
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get her in a conversation
Drink a little red wine
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou
Well, that was your mother
And that was your father
Before you was born dude
When life was great
You are the burden of my generation
I sure do love you
But let's get that straight
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
Arcoss the street from The Public
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away
11.All Around The World Or The Myth Of Fingerprints(Remastered Album
Version)
作詞:Paul Simon
作曲:Paul Simon
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 way we must learn to live alone
