Lyrics
Hide in your shell, cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening
To listen to a stranger
Too beautiful
To put your pride in danger
You're waiting for
Someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
(You've got demons in your closet)
And you're screaming out to stop it
(And you're screaming out to stop it)
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening
The fire's becoming colder
Too beautiful
To think you're getting older
You're looking for
Someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion
(What you see is just illusion)
You're surrounded by confusion
(You're surrounded by confusion)
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Oh I've got to know
I wanna know you
I wanna know you
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
Oh I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Let me near you
Can you hear what I'm sayin'?
Well I'm hopin', I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down
Hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen? You can trust me
(So whatcha gonna take it to?)
Oh there's a place I know the way to
(So whatcha gonna make it do?)
A place there is no need to
(So what's he gonna)
To feel you
(So what's he gonna)
To feel that you are alone
(So what's he gonna do?)
I wanna feel you
(So whatcha gonna take it to?)
I know exactly what you're feelin'
(So whatcha gonna make it do?)
Cos all your troubles are within you
(So what's he gonna)
So begin to
(So what's he gonna)
See that I'm just bleeding too
(So what's he gonna do?)
Oh, love me, love you, loving is the way to
(So whatcha gonna take it to?)
Help me, help you
(So whatcha gonna make it do?)
Why must we be so cool?
(So what's he gonna)
Oh so cool
(So what's he gonna)
Oh, we're such damn fools
(So what's he gonna do?)

When my life was a living hell because of my own doing I thought when will it end? I wanted more for myself and said there's got to be better than this . I decided to listen to others and take a moment each night and say a prayer and talk to God with sincerity and asked for the misery to end.

When one realizes , that this whole album.. is the story of one man' s life... and the 2 main voices are him.. and his sub-conscious.. ( this song).. and the duelling and troubles they go through in life... It makes this masterpiece of music.... into a MASTERPIECE OF MUSIC. Long before PF's The Wall.. this is the first chronological album... and it is absolutely breath taking. This particular song.. makes me weep..... as the sub conscious is trying to " convince" his master.. of the choices in life.... Amazing stuff.

What you have said is very interesting as I have listened to the album hundreds of times but never made the link as I do not listen to lyrics but the music. This is an insanely good song and as a drummer myself what the Supertramp drummer does is very unusual. Many of their songs do not have groves like most music. To me this makes it incredibly interesting. Cheers.

Surely "Days of Future Passed" (1967) by the Moody Blues is an earlier "chronological album" , taking the listener from "The Day Begins" via (amongst many other tracks) "Lunch Break: Peak Hour" and "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)" to the famous "Nights in White Satin" ... (Both are wonderful albums, of course.)

@bobthemallett 2 ай бұрын

Actually surely the FIRST chronological album, based on the Riddle of the Sphinx, was Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues? Released in that MOST important year in music 1967 - Days, Sgt. Pepper's, Pink Floyd, Status Quo, Deep Purple etc. etc. ALL in one year!

I can relate to this song due to my depression, suicidal thoughts and the way my family treats me at times. It is like someone (the person singing) cares and reaches out his hand for me to take. My theme song is Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good. Your friends are out to beat you, for me is your family and the beat you is for the words and how they use them to defeat you and make you feel worthless. There are three other songs by Supertramp that i can relate to too and they are Lord Is It Mine, It's Raining Again and Know Who You Are.

Little children held hands, while walking to Switzerland after World War II - ON FOOT - from most European countries which lay in ruin - - THINK ABOUT THAT - the children were acting on the Red Cross promise to unite these little ones with their Mothers and Fathers. The parents could of course be DEAD. This was not some prediction of a nasty future, this was here and now. You see, if those tiny lives could take that responsibility with such nobility and heroism, then this lot of victim-minded moderns can learn to ... overcome. They gaze at their own pain. Futile. And so much pretense. There's too much cosseting. Life's harsh reality is always the SAME. But we think we can change it with words. With slogans. No. The human being must grow by doing. Anyway, kick some butt ...

What makes Bob C. Benberg's drumming so damn good: "I was always in pursuit of being creative and solid. My job was to provide a steady but interesting backbone. If it didn’t need a fill, don’t do one; the transition setups could be served by just an extra bass drum kick or flick of a stick. If it needed a fill, make it count. Make it meaningful and keep the pulse seamless." (From an interview in Modern Drummer magazine)
