Supertramp - Cannonball Lyrics






You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize
Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused
You let me down, with all your runnin' round
Still you pretend and try to call me friend

don't say a word, I know just what I heard
Yeah you've been loose, you just go no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?

I felt it all, just like a cannonball

Then you got mad, you said that I'm all bad
So what's the use, you lied and that's the truth
You took the key and drove right out on me
I never knew, put all my trust in you

OK that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit
I was unwise, so don't apologize
I paid the price, for taking your advice
I felt it all, just like a cannonball

You can say what you want all day
But I've never been so outraged
I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue
You know I can't stand no more
You know I can't stand no more

  1. E.... ....

    Amusing parody of "La guerre du feu" ("Quest of Fire") from the french director Jean-Jacques Annaud in 1981.

  2. m.... m....

    Un groupe fantastique Supertramp

  11. B.... S....

    Pas de mots pour le talent immense de supertramp, de la vraie musique. 🎶🎵🎼🎤🎹

  12. P.... S....

    This song reminds me of my ex wife 34 years of lying, cheating, stealing while looking at me right in the eyes. Eyes like a king cobra black and evil. I was a trusting idiot who believed that my wife would do the right thing BECAUSE she was my wife. I sure did learn the hard way. People say didn't you know? Nope there are some great actors on this planet and she should have received an award for her performances. I have a girlfriend who is my fantasy woman in real life, and that is putting it mild. Beautiful inside as well as outside. Sometimes l look over at her and wonder how the Fffff did this happen? I'm staying on this rollercoaster as long as l can. She is drop dead gorgeous, but doesn't get it even though l tell her all of the time. I am a lucky M.F.❤

    P.... S....

    Love is a gamble for both parties really.

    P.... S....

    @12345fowler This was not gambling this was she lied about everything and cheat and steal and take advantage of someone who worked his ass off for his family and did the right thing. I had plenty of direct offers and turned them down. Yes l am a fool, after all you should be able to trust your spouse right?

  13. A.... C....

    Haha, a Young Ron Perlman playing the caveman, little he knew he would become a major Hollywood star.

    Je vais vous étonner mais ce titre Cannonball est mon préféré de Supertramp , on avait dit que c'était fichu pour eux après carrière glorieuse , ce titre à été le premier que j'ai vraiment apprécié de ce groupe car les titres antérieurs bien que de haute qualité artistique m'avaient comment dire... échappés , je préférai les Moody Blues . Norbert .

  18. R.... M....

    Saw the Tramp in Burlington, VT in 1973 or '74...Can't really remember...I got caught with a joint by one of the firemen.  He yells, "put that cigarette out".  Scared the shit outa me.  Before I could get a toke on the damn thing, I had to bogart it. Then, all the people around kept making fun of me:  "put that cigarette out!  Put that cigarette out!"..all laughing  at me cause I got caught.  I felt like a jack ass  But, Supertramp were marvelous.

  19. C.... ....

    I don't always listen to Supertramp, but when I do so do the neighbors.

    C.... ....

    @Critterbot: I don't usually slam unoriginal comments on YouTube, but when I do it's your one.

    C.... ....

    @kahnadah Okay, sorry for not being original. But you know, if you don't have anything nice to say, you don't have to say anything.

  20. L.... E....

    Wow! I haven't heard this song in so many years

  21. L.... ....

    Tout simplement génial...

  22. L.... B....

    Best song ..worst video

  23. J.... P....

    This came out after Breakfast in America a while later.

    I loved The New Sumpertramp... even more!

    "Even in The Quietest Moments."

  24. J.... ....

    FUCK YEAH ROGER WHO

  25. E.... G....

    This was a song from their first album "Brother Where You Bound" after they broke up, still Supertramp even without Roger Hodgson. Bombastic sound quality, i got lost listening to this album back in the 80s. Heard "Logical Song" in radio in the late 70s or early 80s and was addicted immediately. Bought "Live in Paris" a couple of days later, without owning an record player...
    Tomorrow when i "Take the Long Way Home" i know what i will listen.

  26. b.... ....

    The definition of hideous.

  27. F.... S....

    ...... GRANDI SUPERTRAMP !!!!!!! LIKE +++++++

  28. N.... S....

    how do you come up with music like this?..about ten layers to this track....is that genius at work?

  29. R.... M....

    A super Super Tramp tune...Saw them in the very early 70's in Burlington ,VT when they were doing a N. American Tour promoting "Crisis? What Crisis" LP.  I had the "Crime oTC" LP and was nuts over these guys....I got caught firin' up a doobie by the firemen watching out for us bad guys...."Hey, you!  Put that cigarette out!"  I freaked and bogarted it immediately.....everybody jeered me....I'll never forget it.....

  30. R.... B....

    Why did you edit out damn near 2 minutes??

  31. C.... R....

    Me encanta Supertramp !!! Una de las mejores bandas de todas las que escuché y sigo escuchando. Faltaría Roger Hodgson pero igual sonaron muy bien.

  32. j.... l....

    Where is Roger Hodgson ? 😥😥😥

  33. �.... �....

    Brought to you by geico, so easy even a caveman can do it.

  34. W.... M....

    supertramp!
    that was a nice part of my life! a few days ago ....
    This song is so timeless and just awesome!
    we admired the united kingdom and were jealous!
    the brexit is like a knife in my heart!
    i love my united europe WITH UK and not without!
    do you want to be as crazy as trump?
    I still hope no!
    I wrote my high school thesis about a text by Sir Winston Churchill ... in 1982, almost a top grade, only almost, but almost!
    you're great! in the EU!
    yes, you can also grab with one arm, but better with two!

  58. M.... C....

    i only remember bob :)

  59. A.... A....

    2:09 sounds like the chorus of "Our House" by Madness.

  60. M.... C....

    one of my favorite songs with the funkiest bass line ever.

  61. A.... R....

    I first saw this on "The Max Headroom show" in 1986 when I was 13, and loved both the song and the video. Had the episode on video tape for a few days and then my dad recorded over it to record something else. I never knew what it was called or who sang it. Since then I have tried google searching it on the net but have never been able to find it. Today after 33 years I finally managed to find this YouTube video. I can't remember where I put my car keys a minute ago but this song and it's video has stayed fresh in my memory all that time. Listening to it again takes me right back to 1986 though.

  62. k.... ....

    Has an element of Big Band to it, with different instruments taking a “lead” solo. Clever!

  63. S.... P....

    Supertramp es Universal

  64. D.... D....

    Que c'était bon !!! On a plus cet impact, la musique à évolué mais pas toujours dans le bon sens ... Et ce mixage ... Une tuerie !!!

  65. g.... ....

    as they say an ''unsung'' masterpiece...Supertramp rules !

  66. d.... ....

    Should be called the Rick Davies Band. Don't see any other original members in this.

  67. T.... P....

    Parkour: So easy a caveman can do it.

  68. A.... L....

    pezzo stupendo

  69. s.... f....

    Masterpiece

  70. V.... M....

    23 & me brought me here ...

  71. A.... T....

    I’ve listened to Supertramp since I was a tot, thanks to my hippie parents! And it’s always a fond memory in my chaotic childhood.🎼💙

  72. L.... F....

    This music is an amazing mix of melodies!!! Love Supertramp!

  73. M.... D....

    Awful shit. The music went to hell after Hodgson left. All they had then were Davies' rhythm and blues tripe

  74. C.... ....

    Cave pop

  75. C.... R....

    Pelas bandas de cá, "passou batido".

  76. k.... ....

    Really a nice Song, but wtihout Roger H. just another Combo-one-hit-wonder-Song...imho

  77. J.... J....

    The caveman is not Ron Perlman?

    J.... J....

    It is per the director Steve Barron

  78. A.... P....

    I'm like to see super tramp in París

  79. T.... K....

    was this the inspiration for Geico's caveman ad campaign?

  80. E.... W....

    SUPERTAMPFAN

  81. C.... ....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  82. J.... A....

    Genre le mec c un rageux XD 😂😂😂

  83. T.... S....

    SUPERTRAMP TOP

  84. b.... j....

    Where are the STRINGS in the vid? Nice song and group.

  85. j.... r....

    Caveman,,,,

  86. R.... R....

    3:56 Are these James Bond theme chords? Just pay attention and compare them with the ones in the original theme https://youtu.be/U9FzgsF2T-s?t=23 (The ones here seems to be +1 octave)

  87. H.... C....

    Rick Davis did it without Roger and it was a masterpiece. Rick is ,in my opinion ,one of the greatest pianist on the world.Check it out in "Child of Vision" Live in Paris 1979.

    H.... C....

    and all the different versions of Another man's Woman , he goes bezerk on the piano , He is what Dave gilmour is to the guitar to the piano

  88. P.... B....

    I saw this tour in 1985, i was 16 , good memory!

  89. N.... j....

    WAWOOOO... HA I LIKE IT

  90. w.... f....

    2018 ???

  91. J.... R....

    This must be after Hodgson left the band. Nothing wrong with this song. Pretty good actually. But far from the Breakfast In America quality of songs.

  92. G.... T....

    Il mio primo gruppo preferito
    Adorabile

  93. n.... ....

    They cut the best part at the end. Great. Not.

  94. L.... D....

    Difficile de faire un choix mais c'est toujours un plaisir d'écoute

  95. c.... ....

    2:55 the clapping sounds like the clapping about midway through Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face

  96. D.... P....

    1985 was a lousy year for me. I won't go into detail , but this hidden gem helped me get through it. I love the fusion of jazz and rock in it.

    D.... P....

    Rather be in your shoes - 85 was the last good year for me. :-)

    D.... P....

    Helped you heal dwight thats all that matters friend. Stay strong.

    D.... P....

    Dwight sure hope things have inprovedover he yrs do you Dwight....

  97. p.... t....

    Great music & memories of life from Supertramp, phenomenal song

    p.... t....

    Roger Hodgeson left the band before this song came out. He left in 1983, the album that this song was apart of came out in 1985.

    p.... t....

    Thank you for the correction, still sound great without Roger

  98. C.... I....

    J’adore
