Kodachrome Lyrics
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
They give us those nice bright colours
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's
A sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
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
They give us those nice bright colours
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's
A sunny day
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
You people need to recognize the classics, jeez. maybe its just that its pretty clear what the meaning is, I guess. Anyway I wanted to see what people said about it... Its not like im old either, im 27.
i love this song. and i'm glad to see that at least one other person on here does as well!
CORRECTION:
Final line of the second stanza should be:
"Everything looks worse in black and white" (The line is a parody of Kodak's ad slogan "Everything looks better in color")
I wanted the first four lines of this song to be my senior quote, but my school wouldn't allow it.
On the studio version of the song, the line is "Everything looks worse in black-and-white", but on the Live in Central Park concert they sing "Everything looks better in black-and-white"... I wonder why?
@docsigma2000 cause he’s older probably and doesn’t go by the same nostalgia you or I do, we all know it word for word but to him it’s just something he’s saying so he changes it up wouldn’t you after singing it for 50 years? Or he just got it backward due to boredom or old age I guess haha

Not a S&G song - Paul Simon only.
