Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening (Audio)

Показать описание

Lyrics

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is

How long ago, how long?
If only we had listened then
If we'd known just how right
We were going to be

For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love
Before the stage fell apart

If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

Well, what is your costume today?
And who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
Was an honest one

Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go re-learn your lines
You don't know what you've done
The finale's begun

If everyone was listening, you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall

One of my favorite Albums from Supertramp! Great memories of listening and fun times in my youth! Lucky I was able to see them live!

Will always be one of the most outstanding songs ever written. Thank you for the excellent recording.

When Breakfast in America came out in 1979 people did a little searching into Supertramp's former works and kind of exhumed this excellent Crime of the Century album. A second life, in a way

They were touched by grace when they composed this song.

One of the first albums I ever bought. Must have been around early part of '75...essentially hot off the press. I probably listened to this more than any other album in my collection back then.

Daddio

The better duet of voices between roger and rick is in this song

kawavulcan

one of my first concerts...Chris de Burg was the opening act..will never forget it

Oh the Joy it was to attend the live tour of this album, takes me back so many years, truly one of the best live performances I was lucky enough to witness.
