"When I think back on all the crap I learned in High School, it's a wonder I can think at all." Paul Simon Kodachrome

Was it The Alan Parsons Project? They have a Pink Floyd sound to them. The song "Time" by APP sounds a little like Comfortably Numb.

Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder is actually about a birth and is a good tune. Has to be a girl though.

I still say there is something to the gun reference. Almost like he got himself into big trouble after attempting to escape not only his hometown but also his father's shadow. I am probably way off though. Maybe Paul is a songfacts member and will let us know if there is any significance to the gun metaphor.

Thanks for the reply. What about all the "trigger of a gun" and "death and dying?" Is this a suicide?

This is an incredible song but I am shocked that there is nothing on the net that breaks it down. Does anyone have information? Again, I am surprised.....S&G reunioniting to produce what I believe is a masterpiece and nothing.

I second The Eurythmics. I was going to post that one. I am confident that is your song.
