Supertramp - Soapbox Opera Lyrics

ouiiii!!

I was born in the 50s and when Supertramp came out in the 70s i started to following them .From Montréal i've seen all there show's and let me tell you that this is the BEST GROOP EVER

Could not agree more ! They have been my favorite band since 1975 ! I'm 58 ...

"Quiero deciros algo,
escuchadme,
Intento decirlo, soy mejor que vosotros
Sólo soy lo que soy"

"No debemos quedarnos parados
La noche se acerca
Todos los hombres, mujeres y niños
Ayudadme todos"

0:32 / Oigo sólo lo que quiero oir
Pero tengo que creer en algo
Tengo que creer en una cosa
Dije..Padre Washington, estás completamente equivocado
Recogiendo pecadores en una vieja copa de lata
Tienes tiempo para escuchar a un loco inquieto
Algo no funciona si necesito tus reglas

1:15 / Oye, tú me dices que eres un hombre santo
Pero aunque soy un principiante
No te veo como un ganador
Dije,..Hermana Robinson, estás completamente acabada
Recogiendo lágrimas en una copa de papel
Si pudiera decirte lo que necesitas saber
Si pudiera ayudarte a tener éxito con la función

Solo de teclados

2:10 / Reverendo Ebenezer, hay una tempestad en mi cabeza
Me hace oir lo que dijiste, ¿era verdad?
¿Qué tengo que hacer?
¿Qué tiene que hacer?
Oh ¿Qué hay que hacer?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

2: 48 / Cánticos angelicales eclesiásticos

"Todas las criaturas, grandes y pequeñas,
todas las cosas, sabias y maravillosas, el Señor Dios lo creó todo"


3:21 / María, dime para qué vivo
Porque me siento como si estuviera tirado en el río
¿Tienes un hijo que entregar?
Dije,...Padre Washington, estás completamente equivocado
Recogiendo pecadores en una vieja copa de lata
Le dices a los niños lo que necesitan saber
Pero ¿te escucharán cuando sea hora de irse?

4:02 / Ohhh Hermana Robinson, estás completamente acabada
Recogiendo lágrimas en una copa de papel
¿Puede alguien decirme lo que necesito saber?
¿Puede alguien ayudarme a tener éxito con la función?

Hermosa pieza de Rock progresivo, una de las mejores bandas que he escuchado.

A master work.

The musical spirit of Supertramp in one song ...

There are no words to describe the lyricism of this song.

When I discovered that... WOW ! 1:55 !

[Intro]

"I want to tell you one thing;

Listen to me,
I'm trying to tell you that I'm better than you,
I am only what I am"

"We must not stand still,
For the night is coming,
Every man, every woman, every child,
Every boy and every girl"

I hear only what I want to hear
But, I have to believe in something
Have to believe just one thing

I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
There's something missing when I read your rules

Well, hey there,
You tell me you're a holy man
But, although I'm just a beginner
Oh, I don't see you as a winner

I said, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
If I could tell you what you need to know,
If I could help you to get on with the show

Oh Reverend Ebenezer,
There's a storm in my head,
Makes me hear what you say;
Just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?
Oh, what is there to do?
Whoa, oh-oh-oh

[Child singing]
"All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all"

Mary, oh, tell me what I'm living for,
'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river,
Oh have you a son to deliver?

I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
You tell the children what they need to know,
But, will they listen when it's time to go?

Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
Can someone tell me what I need to know?
Can someone help me to get on with the show?

As a young lad working/living on my own in the late 70's, 'Crisis' was one of my most played _8-tracks_
Hearing it now with decent equipment or headphones, I never imagined how much I _wasn't_ hearing.

Siempre lo digo maravilloso me traslada a mi pasado triste pero fantastico

One of the best songs ever, I love that version in Paris

Probably, "A Soapbox Opera " with "Hide in your Shell" and "If everyone is listening" are the songs of Supertramp that I enjoy at any time.

@Razzmatazz haha, twin souls!
In fact, the end of party of each album are also prog masterpieces: fool's, another, child, crime .. Supertramp is awesome. Best wishes from Barcelona!

Agree with that surely, greetings from Belgium!

Actually, those ones are my favs as well

Love this song!

Masterpiece!

Wonderful Song 🌈

Greatness, of course. Download before it gets taken down( band member dispute, possible record/music company is also involved)

Oh man, finally it is online again, hopefully for longer time! Thx a lot!

I have to believe in something… thanks..

Obrigado por postar essa maravilha

I'd ask my theistic relatives to "help me to get on with the show".

remember my childhood listening to that song on my dad's stereo and ... I cry...

I like the deep lyrics in Supertramp songs. Like this one. I have the feeling that the narrator is looking for a reason or meaning in life.

Mi too.…..

thanks dude
