Supertramp

Supertramp are a British rock band formed in 1969 under the name Daddy before renaming themselves in early 1970. Though their music was initially categorised as progressive rock, they have since incorporated a combination of traditional rock and art rock into their music. The band's work is marked by the inventive songwriting of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, the distinctive voice of Hodgson, and the prominent use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone in their songs. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain wal always winnin', 
I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke 
I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing 
To lend me 15p - I'm dying for a smoke 
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum 
I'm just as sane as anyone 
It's a just a game I play for fun - for fun. 
I told em - look! - I said I'm not the way you're thinkin, 
Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool. 
Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum 
It's just a game I play for fun - for fun. 
Will he take a sailboat ride? 
He is very likely to, 
Will he feel good inside? 
He ain't very likely to, 
Will he tell you he's alive? 
He is always trying to 
But nothin', no nothin', does he say 
In the morning when the day's begun 
- 'Hello Good morning, how are you?' 
And in the evening or the noonday sun 
- 'What a lovely afternoon!' 
Well I've been living next to you 

Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here, 
When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage. 
I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer 
They're playin' dumb but I'm just lauging as they rage 
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum 
It's only a game I play for fun 
I've been foolin' everyone - everyone. 
Will he take a sailboat ride? 
He is very likely to 
Will he fool good insidie? 
He ain't ever likely to 
Will he tell you he's alive? 
He is always tryin' to 
But nothin', no nothin' does he vere say 
In the morning when the day's begun 
- 'Do you think it looks like rain'? 
And in the evening or the noonday sun 
- 'You know I nearly missed my train' 
Well I've been living next to you my friend 
But what kind of friend are you? 
Is it the beginning or the sorry end? 
Will I ever see it through? 
I've never been insane 
Oh what's the game? 
I believe I'm dying
He's mad, mad, mad
Not quite right
