When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't want to get there, but he needs time

He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time

He needs time
He needs time for livin'

When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away

Ah but I'm free as a bird

" I want to tell you something;
Listen to me,
I'm trying to say, I'm better than you,
I am only what I am"

" We must not stand still,
For the night is coming,
Every man, every woman and child,

Let me tell you a story that'll make a change,
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range
It's about a man who's crueler than me,
So promise not to cause a scene,
Heaven help the one's you love,
There's no big need for stars above
Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you,
It don't matter now, just look behind you,

So many years have come and gone since then
Still I can't forget the past
But you and me, we'll surelt meet again
And maybe find the truth at last

And the light, in the night
Shines on brightly
If it's alright with you

If there's no way of knowing where's the answer,
You should know if you need me by now, tell me how.
You saw me in the first place,
Who d'you think I am
How can you be so two-faced
And tell me where I stand
Yeah, we've been here once before,
I see you by the door,

Right, let's get the whole thing cooking)

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose face
Making it hard it's easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace

I try to walk down a city-street

Jimmy Cream was keen
His brain was always winnin'
I can't keep tabs on mine
It's really quite a joke
I see him down the road
I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15P
I'm dying for a smoke

I keep on churning away, but pay no mind
You don't know nothing 'bout me but that's alright

I tell you true that I'll be there and that's for sure
You got to let me go everywhere, let me through that door
Let me through that door

You say you got a bee in your bonnet

Trust me, I can help you
Feel free, we can save you
Join us in the good life
And better days, better days

Campaign for a new life
Champagne and the bright lights
Make way for the right way

So you think your schooling's phoney,
I guess it's hard not to agree.
You say it all depends on the money,
And who is in your family tree.

Right (right), you're bloody well right,
you got a bloody right to say.
Right, you're bloody well right,

Your silver nights and golden days
I try to reach you in a million ways
I´m crazy ´bout you bonnie
Can you tell?

Your diamond rings and fancy clothes
Do I want you babe, well heaven knows
I´m wild about you bonnie

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true

You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize
Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused
You let me down, with all your runnin' round
Still you pretend and try to call me friend
Don't say a word, I know just what I heard
Yeah you've been loose, you just got no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?
I felt it all, just like a cannonball

It doesn't matter what I say
You never listen anyway
Just don't know what you're looking for

Imagination's all I have
But ever then you say it's bad
Just can't see why we disagree

Well, who do you think you`re foolin`?
You say you`re havin fun,
But you`re busy going nowhere,
Just lyin in the sun.

You tried to be a hero,
commit the perfect crime
but the dollar got you dancing

Here´s a little song to make you feel good
Put a little light in your day
These are crazy times
And it´s all been getting pretty serious

Here´s a little song to make you right
Send the blues away
Well it´s a crazy game

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
How they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer,
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

And if my heart's had wings,
I'd be the bird that sings,
I'd fly where love isn't shy
And everyone is willing to try.
And if we had the time,
And time's so hard to find,
I can't believe what you say,
Start sending those shadows away,

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"To late," the prophets (profits) cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride

Hey buddy, I want to talk to you
About (I got?) a friend in need, a friend indeed
I hear you got a few friends too
Living up the stairs, selling their wears
And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that

Oooh he's very lonely
Oooh he's lost his one and only

Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place, the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay?
Could be a hundred years of sweat and tears at the rate that I get paid
Sometimes I slowly drift away from all the dull routine that's with me every day
A fantasy will come to me
Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law and live in Italy

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
Ill give a little bit of my love to you
Theres so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

Ill give a little bit

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You're waiting for someone to understand you

I've been meaning to write to you
I know that's nothing new
I was never the best correspondent
Come to mention it, though, neither were you

But sometimes it just gets so hard
To make sense of it all
If I knew where you were living now

Oh, it's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
and you know it's hard to pretend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh, will my heart never mend.

Woke up cryin' with the break of dawn, and,
I looked up and the sky,
The air was still, yet all the leaves were falling,
Can you tell me why?

Well, I just don't know the reason,
I don't know what to say,
It just seems a normal day,

Know who you are
There's a world wants to know you
Know where to go...
There's a world wants to touch you
Feel all you can...
Let your heart speak and guide yu
Don't be afraid...
Of the love deep inside you.

Lady, you come across the water,
Well don't you think you oughta?
Be waiting a while,
Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,
Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha, flying away.

'Cause there's nowhere to go,

Well if you want some advice
You gotta listen to me
Getta hold of your life
And you can have a new dream
Forget the ups and the downs
There's a new game in town
For every turn in the road
There's a new way to go

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

Eight seven six five four three two one one day lover
If you need be the one day lover
Just call eight seven six five four three two one
One day lover
eight seven six five four three two one
I'm a love machine come
I'm a love machine come
I'm a love machine in town the best you can get

I'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy

I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me "God is love"
But hatred makes the rules

Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in the sand

My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeh baby you came through

I can't believe what you're saying about me
I can't believe it's true
You know you never should doubt me and take this attitude
You say, "There's somethin' between us"
That something just ain't right
But every time I ask you to tell me why
You say, "It's not the moment"
You say, "It's not the moment"

Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light

Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know

Can you believe me when I say, there's nothing I like better,
Than just to sit here and talk with you.
Although I'll rant and I'll rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is so pure to me, though,
I'm a poor boy,
I can still be happy,
As long as I can feel free.

The name is Potter, hi there
I'm sure getting hotter, mind there
I told her quick she could see my pricked cactus
Back in the confines of my home
She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no
So we're just gonna go get a cactus supper at home

Nigger in the woodpile, mind out

Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned
Stood in the garden with shotgun in hand
What a woman

Whilst entertaining the headlines next day
Rosie would not be released
If it was found that her man was deceased

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin',
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He ain't had no lovin'

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark

Ooo-when I was a small boy,
Well, I could see the magic in a day,
But, now I'm just a poor boy,
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay,
If you lock your dreams away
If no-one wants to listen.

What's the story,

I went back my home town
To the school and walked around
And the way it felt
It seemed just like yesterday

From the cradle to the grave
Some say we never change
No matter how we try

Sooner or later it's gonna get better
Sooner or later I'm gonna get over her

You know I can't go on like this
It's just a matter time
There'll come a day when I will wake up
Without her on my mind

You've been lyin'
I've been cryin'
You've been messin'
I've been guessin' 'bout you
You've been cheatin'
I've been creepin' around
You've been leavin'
I'll be grievin', I'm grievin'

In the middle of our summer romance
He walked up to her and he asked her to dance
I could see the old love light in her eyes
See the love light in her eyes

It took a while to say, how's your new love, babe?

My heart was beating with a rage like thunder

So you think youre a romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos youre the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if youre feeling good
Take the long way home

Well now how you doin' do I know you
Are you living round here or just passing through
Seems like I met you before well how you do

Take care while you're in there, the lights are low
Though the gals are good, they're not the kind you want to know
Just sit back, and drink a stiff one - enjoy the show

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Joyfully, playfully watching me

But then they send me away

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me

Then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Oh logical, responsible, practical.

Когда я был молод, казалось, что жизнь была настолько замечательна,
Была чудом, была красива, волшебна.
И все птицы на деревьях,
Так счастливо и прекрасно пели
Радостно и игриво наблюдая за мной.
Но тогда они отослали меня, чтобы научить меня, уму-разуму,
Быть логичными, ответственным, практичным.
И они показали мне мир, где я мог быть настолько надежным, клиническим, интеллектуальным, циничным.

Captain I am sorry that this ship should go a stray
Letting the ocean have it's own way
Lay me down to pass ?to send?, I'll pay for all my sins
Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins

Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast

Travelled the world a million ways,
Catching upon a familiar gaze
Everyone lives by do or die,
there's noone with time to laugh or cry
There's noone to tell us what we're living for.......

And though I try to be a good man,
I just know that I'll be losing very soon

Later that evening, only a feeling
But it was there in the air that we share in the twilight
Humming a sad song, where was our day gone
But in the dark was a spark a remark I remember
"Try again" she replied to some story I told
"Try again" yes I will if I can
All I need is somebody to hold

Look at me, I'm a speck of sand
And I'm building dreams in a strangers land
Tell me why do I care
Tell me why do I care

Every time that I'm feeling down
Oh, they pick me up and they spin me 'round
Tell me where do we go

from "Supertramp" (p)1970

Why sing a lonely song
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why bruise a heart that isn't broken
It isn't broken. It can be broken

Life's just a show for free

You win, I lose
I beg, you choose
You're so cool and I'm confused
I'm me and you're you
You're so loose and I'm uptight
You're day, I'm night

Like two ships in the night in foggy weather,

Give it a word, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, stop living high
You're on your own, your making bed
Now time for wasting, just look ahead

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation and he don't know fad
