CHILD OF VISION

Supertramp

Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're havin' fun,
But you're busy going nowhere,
Just lying 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
You're messin' up the water
You're rolling in the wine
You're poisoning your body
You're poisoning your mind
You gave me coca-cola
You said it tasted good
You watch the television
It tell you that you should
How can you live in this way?
(why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(Tell me why should I change?)
There must be more to this life
It's time we did something right
Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition
I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
You cannot make me listen
I cannot make you hear
You find your way to heaven,
I'll meet you when you're there

How can you live in this way?
(Why do you think it's so strange?)
You must have something to say
(Tell me why should I change?)
We have no reason to fight,
'Cause we both know that we're right
Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition

Supertramp The Logical Song

 

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.
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
but please tell me who i am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
at night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
i know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who i am.

Cuando era joven
parecía que la vida era tan maravillosa,
un milagro, oh era hermoso, mágico.
Y todos los pájaros en los árboles,
estarían cantando tan feliz, alegre, juguetónamente mirardome. Pero entonces me envían lejos
para enseñarme cómo ser sensible, lógico, responsable, práctico. Y me demostraron un mundo
donde podría ser tan confiable, clínico, intelectual, cínico.
Hay las épocas en que todo el mundo duerme,
las preguntas funcionan demasiado profundamente
para un hombre tan simple. por favor, por favor
Me dirás lo que hemos aprendido
sé que suena absurdo pero por favor decirme lo que sea.
Ahora mirar lo que dices
o te llamarán un radical, liberal, fanático, criminal.
No firmarás para arriba tu nombre,
nosotros quisieramos sentir que seas ¡aceptable, respetable, presentable, un vehículo! en la noche,
Cuando todo el mundo duerme,
las preguntas funcionan tan profundamente
para un hombre tan simple. por favor, por favor
Me dirás lo que hemos aprendido
sé que suena absurdo pero por favor decirme lo que sea.

Supertramp - Breakfast In America

Supertramp - Breakfast In America

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
   But there's not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire


   I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
   Do you want my autograph
   I'm a loser, what a joker
   I'm playing my jokes upon you
   While there's nothing better to do

Don't you 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 cross the water
   Like to see America
   See the girls in California
   I'm hoping it's going to come true
   But there's not a lot I can do

MIRO A MI NOVIA
ES LO úNICO QUE TENGO
NO ES DEMASIADO UNA NOVIA
NUNCA PARECE QUE VOY A TENER DEMASIADO

TOMAR UN AVIóN PARA PASAR EL OCEANO
PARA VER AMéRICA
VER LAS CHICAS EN CALIFORNIA
ESPERO QUE ESTO SE CONVIERTA EN REALIDAD
PERO NO ES MUCHO LO QUE PUEDO HACER

PODRíAMOS TENER AHUMADOS EN EL DESAYUNO
MAMI QUERIDA, MAMI QUERIDA
ELLOS TIENEN QUE TENERLOS EN TEXAS
PORQUE TODOS SON MILLONARIOS


SOY UN GANADOR, SOY UN PECADOR
¿QUIERES MI AUTóGRAFO?
SOY UN PERDEDOR, QUE BROMISTA
TE ESTOY HACIENDO MIS BROMAS
MIENTRAS NO HAYA NADA MEJOR QUE HACER

NO MIRES A MI NOVIA
ES LO úNICO QUE TENGO
NO ES DEMASIADO UNA NOVIA
NUNCA PARECE QUE VOY A TENER DEMASIADO

TOMAR UN AVIóN PARA PASAR EL OCéANO
PARA VER AMéRICA
VER LAS CHICAS EN CALIFORNIA
ESPERO QUE ESTO SE CONVIERTA EN REALIDAD
PERO NO ES MUCHO LO QUE PUEDO HACER 

Dreamer - Supertramp

 

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 laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

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!
OH NO!
