Paul Simon - Kodachrome

Back


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, 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
Everything looks worse in black and white

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, 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
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama don't take my Kodachrome
Uhm uhm!
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
O.K.!

I have a post buried somewhere *WAY* back... I just wanted to let ann6079 know that even though I'd already thanked her (him?) for this awesome video, I will never have seen it often enough, and each time is like that of the first.

Thank you for granting me that privilege.

I totally agree with the consensus. This is one of the most amazing songs ever written, and being young simply means you understand amazing music a decade younger than most.

This genuinely is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Study harder, I still use it, and they still make it (for now).

my point was that it is no longer made/supplyed in Australia (where I live)

No, it's not! It's about color film! :)
