What does Scarborough Fair have to do with that song? |

 | Hi Bodo,Paul used part of the lyrics from ´Side of a Hill´ as the counter-melody/lyric of ´Scarborough Fair´. |

 | I´ve found the lyrics here : http://lyricwiki.org/Paul_Simon: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 the land called ´Somewhere´
And generals order their men to kill
And to fight for a cause they´ve long ago forgotten
While the little cloud weeps on the side of a hill" |

I couldn´t find them before I was searching for "The Side of a Hill", not "ON the Side of a Hill"... |

| Thanks Cecilia,as you can see,some of the lines are used in Scarborough Fairs Canticle section ´Fight for a cause they´d long ago forgotten´ and ´Generals order their soldiers to kill´ are two lines that come to mind. The melody from ´A Side of a Hill´ is not used. Paul and Art created a new counter melody for these lines. |

| i was just shocked Bodo didn´t know that these songs are connected somehow (the lyrics), being a Paul Simon for 18 years.
Sorry, i didn´t mean to offend you, Bodo. It was just the explanation to Jupira.
Cheers, Paul

| Beeing a Paul Simon fan made me never be a die hard fan of S&G, in fact I really never listen to any S&G albums. |
