Supertramp - Logical Song Lyrics






When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

There are times
When all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man

Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

I said now what would you say
Now we're calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal

Oh won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

Take, take, take it

But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please
Won't you tell me
Please tell me what we've learned
Can you hear me
I know it sounds absurd
Why won't you help me
But please tell me who I am
Who I am, who I am, who I am

'Cause I was feeling so logical
Digital
One two three four
Liberal

  52. M.... C....

    This is my song! Catholic school girl just like Billy Joel sang it. I'm older now but watch out for those girls who start much too late! Especially if she is an Irish Redhead.

  53. R.... K....

    Not only do I like this song but want to dance every time I hear it!

  54. J.... R....

    Perfect except the saxophone is way much louder than it needs to be.

  55. D.... W....

    It’s quite befitting for sure of the song and title for real, especially for Europe: Please tell me who I am‼️ For starters, we and they can tell we’re tourist for sure.

  56. G.... e....

    Just passing by enjoying the music my parents used to listen to

  57. l.... ....

    I think it’s the chord first heard at 0:14 that makes this song

  58. r.... ....

    I'm trying to find a song. This isn't it. But it's another great stop on my search tonight through bands like Supertramp, Asia, Toto, etc. Still not finding what I'm looking for, but SOOOO many good songs along this journey. Now, on to the next . . .

    r.... ....

    I found it!! Toto - "Hold the line". Totally takes me back to my childhood days, zooming around too fast at the skating rink while awesome music was playing from the DJ booth. Good times!

  59. V.... A....

    when music was music, instead of all those crap these days!

    V.... A....

    stfu u triggered boomer

  60. A.... S....

    It's logical to consider it amazing...one, two, three, five

  63. l.... t....

  64. H.... O....

    799 people who disliked are illogical 😦

    H.... O....

    Wait wouldn't they be logical seeing as how the songs kind of a dig at conformity? Or at least that's how I felt about the song.

    H.... O....

    They were just being logical.

    H.... O....
