Songtexte The Logical Song - Live At Pavillon de Paris/1979 - Supertramp

Thank you very much and welcome
We have a new album out at the moment, six weeks ago
We'd like to play you a little something from that

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
But please tell me who I am

I said, "Now what you say or they'll be 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
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah

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't you help me?)
I know it sounds absurd (won't you tell me?)
But please, tell me who I am

Who I am?
Who I am?
Who I am? Yeah
Whoo!
Hey

'Cause I was feeling so illogical, yeah
D-d-d-d-digital, yeah
One, two, three, sound
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
I know you think it's getting unbelievable, yeah
Whoo!
B-b-b-b-bloody marvelous
