| Simon and Garfunkel – Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Rosie, the Queen of Corona" is probably referring to the neighbourhood Corona, in Queens and not the beer. Paul Simon was asked about this song in an interview in Rolling Stone magazine, in 1972. The interviewer asked "what was it that the mama saw?" and Simon replied, "I have no idea what it is... Something sexual is what I imagine, but when I say 'something', I never bothered to figure out what it was. Didn't make any difference to me." |

The "Canticle" section of the song is taken from another song that Paul Simon wrote, and was released on his album "Songbook". On The Side Of A Hill On the side of a hill in a land called somewhere A little boy lies asleep in the earth While down in the valley a cruel war rages And people forget what a child’s life is worth On the side of a hill, a little cloud weeps And waters the grave with its silent tears While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun That ended a life at the age of seven years And the war rages on in a land called somewhere And generals order their men to kill And to fight for a cause they’ve long ago forgotten While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill |
