I met my old lover On the street last night She seemed so glad to see me I just smiled And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years
I'm not the kind of man Who tends to socialize I seem to lean on Old familiar ways And I aint no fool for love songs That whisper in my ears Still crazy afler all these years Oh, still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning Crapped out, yawning Longing my life a--way I'll never worry Why should I? It's all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window And I watch the cars I fear I'll do some damage One fine day But I would not be convicted By a jury of my peers Still crazy after all these years Oh, still crazy Still crazy Still crazy after all these years
Já lá vão quase trinta anos e tenho pena de não lhe dar o uso que merece!

Kodachrome
Kodachrome ( Paul Simon )
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 You give us those nice bright colors You 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 And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome You give us those nice bright colors You 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 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)
