Supertramp - Crime Of The Century Lyrics






Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
Yes, It's well worth the fee
So roll up and see
How they've raped the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed and glory?
Rip off the mask and let's see.
But that's not right - oh no, what's the story?
But there's you and there's me
That can't be right

    Just in case you thought that Supertramp peaked at "Breakfast in America", the defense would like to provide Evidence A... this song.

    Goddamn, this band kicks ass. Just _listen_ to that saxophone scream, man.

    Now they're planning the crime of the century
    Well what would it be?
    Read all about their schemes and adventuring
    It's well worth the fee
    So roll up and see
    As they rape the universe
    How they've gone from bad to worse

    Who are these men of lust, greed and glory?
    Rip off the masks and let's see
    But that's not right - oh no, what's the story?
    Look! There's you and there's me
    (That can't be right...)

    1:21 what does he say there?

  35. D.... S....

    Oh shit yeah.

  36. D.... S....

    Yep X: )

  37. C.... E....

    I remember back in the late 1970's, watching a live (I think) concert of Supertramp on the BBC. At the time there was a broadcasting technicians strike in operation, and it got to this track and that's when they cut the broadcast!! This is one of my all time favourite tracks of Supertramp!

  38. M.... W....

    Supertramp, ELO, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Styx, etc...vs today...no contest. The best music came from this era and the early 80's.

  39. S.... D....

    ooo that sax made it

  40. D.... ....

    Anyone came here to find out what he says in Fabolous - Breathe?
    0:31 for vocal
    2:07 for sample

  41. P.... F....

    I love the water gong.

  42. L.... L....

    WTC7 17H20 7SEC... 777

    L.... L....

    Supertramp...it brings me back to the year 1991... :°

    L.... L....

    Roger and Rick are two Geniuses : BABAJI, CANNONBALL ...

  43. S.... ....

    Crime do Século


    Agora eles estão planeando o crime do século
    E então, o que será?
    Leia tudo sobre seus esquemas e riscos
    É algo que vale a pena
    Portanto curve-se e acompanhe,
    E eles violentam o universo;
    Como estão cada vez piores!
    Quem são estes homens de luxúria , avareza e glória?
    Jogue fora as máscaras e observe
    Mas não é o correto--- oh não, que história é essa?
    Existe você; e existo eu
    Isso não pode estar certo.

  44. s.... ....

    One and then the two, two and then three, three and then four...

  45. J.... -....

    Who are these men of lust greed and glory rip off the masks and let see

  46. D.... B....

    One of the first albums I bought for myself as a teeny bopper! ,( Millenials won't know that phrase.😜✌️🤘) Still relevant today!!

  47. m.... ....

    I enjoyed this album when I began listening to it in 1974. Still enjoying it 45 years later. A masterpiece...

  48. J.... ....

    This and Crisis, best work. Awesome.

  49. d.... ....

    This song is very deep and the people who disliked it is probably because they don’t understand the meaning!!
    We are all entitled to our opinion but we should understand how fragile our planet is!!!

  50. e.... e....

    best song they made:School.

  51. M.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpAUDOI24Oo

  52. A.... R....

  53. m.... ....

  54. M.... �....

    Genial sobre todo el final apoteosico

  55. r.... ....

    Prophetic....

  56. a.... D....

    The best album they made before the commercial overtones took over.

  57. m.... p....

    Wow, the ending saxophone solo gives me goosebumps

  58. W.... S....

    Saxophones don't belong in rock bands, but this may be the most beautiful melancholy saxophone soli that I've ever heard.  Wish it went on forever...

  59. R.... K....

    Looking forward to see The MAESTRO HIMSELF ROGER HODGSON IN CONCERT NOVEMBER 28TH 2019 in my hometown RICHMOND B.C @ THE RIVER ROCK CASINO 👍

  60. M.... P....

    Dans nos jardins y a plus de coquelicots ni même des jonquilles, juste des toxicos qui sniffent avec des junkies

  61. R.... E....

    A masterpiece!

  62. A.... M....

    From time to time you find albums with all the songs being astounding ! this one is like this !

  63. A.... M....

    One of the bast album of all times. A band with two of the finest LP ever produced is definitively one of the best

  64. M.... d....

    Doctor : you have only 3 minutes left to live
    Me : I want to listen to Crime of the century
    Doctor : but it s 5 minutes
    God : I will allow it

    M.... d....

    M.... d....

    Oh, well done man. Well damn perfect! Thank you

    M.... d....

    That was good.

    M.... d....

    I'd like to listen to Supper's ready by Genesis before I die.

  65. A.... G....

    This song is about 9/11..how did Supertramp know? Check their other songs....and album art

  66. R.... A....

    Brings back a lot of memories! Thank you! ❤❤❤

  67. M.... A....

    Woooow.

  68. s.... p....

    Now they're planning the crime of the century, well what will it be? Who are these men of lust, greed and glory, like the president!

  69. j.... b....

    One of the best concerts I ever saw. Crime Of the Century Tour. Fresno Ca, Warnors Theater

  70. S.... ....

    La primera vez que los escuché yo tenía como 10 años y desde ahí me encantó su música.

  71. 1.... ....

    The best Supertramp song on the best album.

  72. C.... B....

    Classic ! Classic !

  73. S.... B....

    I can still hear this being played down the hall in my dorm sophomore year. The guy who played it over and over is now dead.

    S.... B....

    Er....by whose hand?

  74. A.... C....

    The ultimate conspiracy researchers song🇯🇲

  75. �.... �....

    💃💃💃💃💃💪💪💪💪👀

  76. l.... ....

    Just Blaze was genius for sampling to make the breathe beat for Fabolous

  77. C.... P....

    Just ❤❤❤

  78. C.... F....

    What I Do Do Not Understand Is, Who Sings "Breathe" In The Fabolous - Breathe Song? Thanks.

  79. c.... A....

    For me Crime Of The Century is the best album ever, and if the guys from the Rolling Stone magazin put it on #27 of their "Top 50 prog albums" list, they prove that they don't have the slightest idea of good music.

    c.... A....

    claus Appel
    Rolling Stones doesnt even have a single Supertramp album on their list of top 500 all time best albums, and the band isnt in their top 500 all time best bands. It’s kind of ridiculous.

    c.... A....

    @PanPanPan111 Absolutely ridiculuous. You're bloody well right 😉

  80. A.... B....

    Who the heck took the time to thumbs down this? And why?

    A.... B....

    The same people who would choose a Hersey bar over a bar of platinum.

  81. B.... L....

    Oh .. my ... god! Thank you !

  82. M.... M....

    The world is full of idiots and as of today 302 of them visited here and gave thumbs down to this master piece

  83. V.... V....

    Now they're planning the crime of the century
    Well what will it be?
    Read all about their schemes and adventuring
    Yes, It's well worth the fee
    So roll up and see
    How they've raped the universe
    How they've gone from bad to worse
    Who are these men of lust, greed and glory?
    Rip off the mask and let's see.
    But that's not right - oh no, what's the story?
    But there's you and there's me
    That can't be right

    Great song, great album, great band.

  85. H.... o....

    Stevie T sent me here

  86. L.... J....

    It was powerful, evocative music when I first heard it all those years ago at university... Picture now... a montage of world events and certain world leaders, with Crime of the Century as the sound track...

  87. E.... P....

    The G.O.A.T. of albums - and this song is the greatest of them all!

  88. V.... V....

    Greta Thunberg would like this amazing song

  89. A.... T....

    Never gets old.

  90. G.... m....

    master peace

  91. O.... H....

    Another century. The crime just goes on!


    Who financed Lenin?
    Who financed Hitler?
    Who financed Allende?
    Who financed Pinochet?
    Who financed Saddam Hussein?
    Who financed Bin Laden?
    Who financed ISIS?

    Just to name a few...

  92. j.... ....

    I always picture this song as an old Tintin style rocketship leaving the earth and the whole damn planet exploding behind it when that first high note of the sax solo kicks in

    Masterpiece of a song

    j.... ....

    love the tintin reference

  93. G.... S....

    Capolavoro! SUPERTRAMP 👍

  94. J.... F....

    dommage que les cris guturaux de Rick davies gâche un peu ce beau morceau

  95. L.... ....

    If their music had a name it would be Sue Perb. The greatest band I ever saw 'Live'! They went down a bit after Roger left but still better than most. Supertramp saved my life, but that's another story for another time.

  96. A.... D....

    Fabolous - Breathe brought me here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    A.... D....

    What I Do Do Not Understand Is, Who Sings "Breathe" In The Fabolous - Breathe Song? Thanks.

    A.... D....

    @Christian Follower have no clue but Just Blaze sampled dis beat for all ik. But dat is a good question tho.
