Duncan Lyrics
Artist(Band):Paul Simon
Review The Song (7)Print the Lyrics
Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been goin' at it all night long
Well,I'm trying t 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

A young girl in a parking lot
was 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
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
and my long years of innocence ended
Well 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

Review about Duncan

duncan | Reviewer: Mehmet Oguz Divilioglu | 9/10/2008
    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 | 5/19/2008

    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 | 3/14/2008

    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.

    Duncan in "10 Items or Less" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/2007

    I am amazed how this song seemed to have been buried for so many years. 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 | 4/16/2007

    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.
