Supertramp - School (Audio)

Lyrics

I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've gotta learn the golden rule
Teacher tells you stop your playing and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie-Too-Good, don't you know he never shirks
He's coming along

After school is over, you're playing in the park
But don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them, won't let you work it out
And you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do? (Make a good boy of you)
And do they know where it's at?
But don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to, don't want the devil to
Come and put out your eyes

The piano solo is one of the greatest solo in the rock history , but of course the whole song is amazing .

My dad used to play this in the car on the way to school. He died when I was 20. I was old enough to have had a load of arguments with him in my teens but not old enough to have made amends later. I guess now all I have are his favourite songs, such as this :(

[littlefoot]

Great song brings back memories I was 17 now 65 still listening

[setshootstrike]

From about 2:15 on, the transition from guitar to keyboards then drums and piano is incredible. Every time I hear it, I time travel...1974, I'm in the backseat of my family car, a Chevy Chevelle sitting next to everyone I loved at the ripe old age of 9.

What an incredibly beautiful song. Such a talented group. 40 years later, and it still sounds as good as the first time I heard it.

[bobwirth]

We don't go looking for old music, we look for the memories they carry with us and they have no expiry date cheers !!!!

[Paul-wcyh]

Supertramps drummer is highly under-rated. So clean and sharp, yet jazzy. Reminds me of Yes's drummer; another amazing phenom

[martin]

This album of Supertramp takes me right back into those days when I was a teenager. It's so good to listen to those songs after a very long time right here and now in 2023. Supertramp surely is not forgotten!

[Vangelis-wzjo]

Amazing song! The best solo piano ever!

[ManWithNoName]

one of the best groups that exist on earth. Thank you for being there

[hakimsaadi]

[DUSKvsDAWN]

My dad used to love this song. That piano solo is absolutely beautiful!

[luigimarcastel]

C'était magique....

[jedndi]

I grew up with Supertramp & still love their music ❤

[joeblow]

Sounds so fresh and current even almost 50 years after.
Amazing.

[rickring]

Give me chills every time I hear it one of the greatest songs ever

[JAMESMCNEMAR]

My brother gave me a turntable and double cassette deck when this album came out. I added these to upgrade my system and recorded this and many albums of the time on cassette and played them til they wore out then recorded again. Thanks Terry

[Hulloder]

This is one of the greatest album openers ever

[robertkrapp]
