Lyric discussion by DixieJ 

The four-letter, one word poem is most definitely "Fuck". Paul Simon's inspiration for writing the song came from when they tried to shoot the album over for "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" in the New York Subway and found that much of their photographs couldn't be used because the subway walls were covered in obscenities.

The deeper meaning, I think, would be in relation to what was happening in the country in the 60's with censorship and the anti-society culture. I just love the feeling to the song, personally. I love how he could take something so simple and make such a lovely song :)

I admit I didn't want to read your post at first when I saw you thought it was the F word, and I'm sorry, lol. After reading what you wrote I really enjoyed your words. Thank you for sharing them with me!
