It's easy to be generous/When you're on a roll/Hard to be grateful when/You're out of control. Perceptive words, but who is the poet? Here is a clue: he is a past winner of the United Negro College Fund's Frederick D Patterson Award as well as being in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. Step up, prolific songsmith and gifted lyricist, Paul Simon. Following recent comprehensive publication of the lyrics of Rock's other genuine poet, Bob Dylan (and the charming, illustrated kids' book of Forever Young), the work of Art Garfunkel's erstwhile sidekick is to be found between hard covers, thanks to Simon & Schuster, which is about to release Paul Simon, Lyrics 1964-2008.
