| | Duncan Lyrics Artist(Band):Paul Simon
Bound to win a prize They've been goin' at it all night long I'm trying to get some sleep but these motel walls are cheap Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song Here's my song My father was a fisherman my mama was the fisherman's friend and I was born in the boredom and the chowder So when I reached my prime I left my home in the maritimes Headed down the turnpike for New England Sweet New England Holes in my confidence Holes in the knees of my jeans I was left without a penny in my pocket Oo-ooo-oo wee I was about destituted as a kid could be And I wished I wore a ring so I could hock it I'd like to hock it I've seen a young girl in a parking lot preaching to a crowd singing sacred songs and reading from the Bible Well I told her I was lost and she told me all about the Pentecost And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-val Just later on the very same night She crept to my tent with a flashlight and my long years of innocence ended She took me to the woods sayin' "Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!" And just like a dog I was befriended I was befriended Oh, oh, what a night Oh what a garden of delight Even now that sweet memory lingers I was playin' my guitar lying underneath the stars Just thankin' the Lord for my fingers For my fingers If you find some error in Duncan Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Duncan My own music suggestion, Paul. | Reviewer: Joram Arentved | 9/13/09 God didn't approve of me, therefore I'm happy to let you receive this my repeated music-labor sug-gestion, which is just my own testimony to being happy to be an honest man, so that I can of course tell & e.g. help us all find out &, whoever's who, our best answers to, - sorry, to be continued, greetings, arentved@in.com, Santiago, Chile, (I was still born as a Dane). Spellbinding!!!! | Reviewer: Aparna | 5/23/09 Just like most of you here, even i heard this song in the movie 10 items or less. And was spell bound for that entire part of the movie while this beautiful and haunting theme worked its magic in the background. I couldn't catch the lyrics quite well and thought that it was called as "New Sweet England" and searched in google with that. You can imagine what kinda results would have thrown up. But am glad that i've finally found the lyrics and the song as well. And it all happened on my birthday .... talk about miracles :D Life can be beautiful ! | Reviewer: Vijay | 2/24/09 it is so positive and hopeful and it just saves me from melancholia. It cured me of my depression.. and the musictoo, as well as the lyrics.. it made me featherlight and happy. I wish it spreads again..more and more.. from ear to ear, mouth to mouth duncan | Reviewer: Mehmet Oguz Divilioglu | 9/10/08 The song hit me while watching the movie "10 items or less", i was frozen and out of words - hypnotized. The song overcome even the most beautiful scenes passing on the screen, while the song played. It's the few pure melodies of duncan that i'd like to hear on my last breath. Mesmerizing and Beautiful | Reviewer: T | 5/19/08 I, too, first heard this song when I watched the movie 10 Items or Less, and can't believe that I never heard it before! It definitely had been hidden to me, and I feel it deserves a lot more popularity than it got. The fact that it doesn't seem to be as popular as many of Paul Simon's other songs makes it, of course, a true gem. Still cool after all these years | Reviewer: Annieanne | 3/14/08 First heard this song over thirty years ago and it's still just as real and honest now as it was then. Ahhh, the poigniancy of youth... Check out the demo version of this on Paul Simon ('72) - available on i-tunes.

When I heard Duncan being played at the end of "10 Items or Less", it actually gave me the chills. It was spectacular. touching | Reviewer: mal | 4/16/07 this song first caught my ear when it appeared in the indie film "10 items or less". it's very moving and the melody is mesmerizing. leave it to paul simon to bring it.
