Profound Supertramp Quotes from Songs on Life’s Journey

1. 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, oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me.
2. But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh, responsible, practical, and then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.
3. There are times when all the world’s asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man, won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned? I know it sounds absurd, please tell me who I am.
4. I said, now, watch what you say, they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal, oh, won’t you sign up your name? We’d like to feel you’re acceptable, respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable.
5. So, you think you’re a Romeo playing a part in a picture show? Well, take the long way home, ’cause you’re the joke of the neighborhood, why should you care if you’re feelin’ good? Well, take the long way home.
6. There are times that you feel you’re part of the scenery, all the greenery is comin’ down, boy, and then your wife seems to think you’re part of the furniture, oh, it’s peculiar, she used to be so nice.
7. When lonely days turn to lonely nights, you take a trip to the city lights and take the long way home, you never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery, you take the long way home.
8. When you’re up on the stage, it’s so unbelievable, oh, unforgettable, how they adore you, but then your wife seems to think you’re losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out?
9. Does it feel that your life’s become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be, for you to grow, boy, when you look through the years and see what you could have been, oh, what you might have been if you would have more time.
10. 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, and you’re running out of time.
11. There must be more than this life, it’s time we did something right, I thought I saw a rainbow, but I guess it wasn’t true, and you cannot make me listen, and I cannot make you hear, so you’ll find your way to heaven, I’ll meet you when you’re there.
12. 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, and I must be moving on.

Supertramp Quotes from Songs Reflecting on Relationships and Farewell

2. Goodbye stranger it’s been nice, hope you find your paradise, tried to see your point of view, hope your dreams will all come true.
3. Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane, will we ever meet again, feel no sorrow, feel no shame, come tomorrow, feel no pain.
4. Now some they do and some they don’t, and some you just can’t tell, and some they will and some they won’t, with some it’s just as well, you can laugh at my behaviour, and that’ll never bother me, say the devil is my saviour, but I don’t pay no heed.
