Simon & Garfunkel - Richard Cory 1966 live
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town, With political connections to spread his wealth around. Born into society, a banker's only child, He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.
But I, I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory.
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes: Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show. And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht! Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.
But I, I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory.
He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch, And they were grateful for his patronage and they thanked him very much, So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read: "Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
But I, I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be, Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory.

What do you agree with? With what I said about nicleback? Well they are great! I like Pink as well, great voice, lyrics that come to the point. I miss the music of the end of the 60ies and the beginning of the 70ies, when the groups had opinions on what life was about. Today, hardly anyone bothers. It's just perfect voices and lyrics that are of no interest.
I agree with you. There is still a minority of groups/singers which don't go with the main stream. Well, nicleback are one of my favourites - and I'm sure they can't be copied - a highlight in today's music. I don't know incubus though, maybe they're only known in the anglosaxon countries, never heard anything from or about them in the rest of Europe.

Paul Simon is the greatest lyrics writer of all time. Yes I know this is based on a poem.
