Song lyrics

Supertramp (1970)

• Nothing to show, for love has never been,
  Nothing to show, for love has never been,
  Nothing to show, for love has never been.
  • Nothing to Show, lyrics by Richard Palmer-James

• Did your shadow ever speak to you?
  And did he say that something's wrong?
  Huddle figure on a lamp-let wall
  Never realized he cared at all
  Did he stop you going on?
  • Shadow Song, lyrics by Richard Palmer-James

Indelibly Stamped (1971)

• Your poppa don't mind what you do or say.
  You can't surprise him any more.
  You don't believe in Heaven, like a good man should.
  Your poppa don't mind at all.
  • Your Poppa Don't Mind, lyrics by Rick Davies

• Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor,
  Stupidly took in a rumor,
  Making her think that she'd lost,
  Double-crossed by a man who was dear,
  Very near to her.
  • Rosie Had Everything Planned, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

Crime of the Century (1974)

• Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer,
  Well can you put your hands in your head? Oh no!
  • Dreamer, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

• Hide in your shell, cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride.
  What can you gain making your life a little longer?
  • Hide in Your Shell, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

Crisis? What Crisis? (1975)

• Well, if my thoughts had wings,
  I'd be the bird that sings.
  I'd fly where love isn't shy,
  And everyone is willing to try.
  • Easy Does It, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

• 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.
  • Sister Moonshine, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

Even in the Quietest Moments... (1977)

• Give a little bit
  Give a little bit of your love to me
  I'll give a little bit
  I'll give a little bit of my love to you
  There's so much that we need to share
  So send a smile and show you care
  • Give a Little Bit, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

• Sometimes I slowly drift away
  From all the dull routine that's with me every day
  A fantasy will come to me
  ...
  Guess I'll always have to be
  Living in a fantasy
  That's the way it's got to be
  From now on
  • From Now On, lyrics by Rick Davies

Breakfast in America (1979)

• I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
  You've shown me there's a silent place that I can call my own
  Is it mine?
  Oh Lord, is it mine?
  • Lord Is It Mine, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

• 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 even then you say it's bad
  Just don't see why we disagree
  Casual conversations and how they bore me
  • Casual Conversations, lyrics by Rick Davies

...Famous Last Words... (1982)

• 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 you
  Don't be afraid
  Of the love deep inside you
  • Know Who You Are, lyrics by Roger Hodgson

• Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me
  Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me
  Well there are days I can tell you quite honestly
  I've seen myself hanging up in the monastery
  'Cause all that I have is this music
  Coming to me
  And all that I have is this rhythm
  Running through me
  • C'est le Bon, lyrics by Roger Hodgson
