Please tell me.....

what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am......

The Logical Song

Roger Hodgson

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

Joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away

To teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh responsible, practical

And they showed me a world

Where I could be so dependable

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

Oh, watch 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, presentable, and vegetable

But at night 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

When lonely days....

turn to lonely nights

You take a trip to the city lights.....

Take the Long Way Home

Roger Hodgson

So you think you're a Romeo

You're playing a part in a picture show

Well, take the long way home

Take the long way home

But you're the joke of the neighborhood

Why should you care if you're feeling good?

You take the long way home

Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel

You're part of the scenery

All the greenery is coming down, boy

And then your wife seems to think

You're part of the furniture

Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights

You take a trip to the city lights

And take the long way home

Take the long way home

You never see what you wanna see

Forever playing to the gallery

You take the long way home

Take the long way home

When you're up on stage

It's so unbelievable

Unforgettable, how they adore you

But then your wife seems to think

You're losing your sanity, oh, calamity

Oh, is there no way out?

Does it feel that your life's

Become a catastrophe?

Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy

And when you look through the years

And see what you could have been

Oh, what you might have been

If you'd had more time

So when the day comes to settle down

Well, who's to blame if you're not around?

You took the long way home

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Take the long way, take the long way

Take the long way home

You took the long way home

Long way home, long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Took the long way home

You took the long way home

Give ....

a Little Bit
Roger Hodgson

Give a little bit

Give a little bit of your love to me

Give a little bit

I'll give a little bit of my love to you

There's so much that we need to share

Send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit

I'll give a little bit of my love to you

So give a little bit

Give a little bit of your time to me

See the man with the lonely eyes

Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit

Give a little bit of your love to me

I'll give a little bit of my love for you

Now's the time that we need to share

So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home

Don't you need to feel at home?

Oh yeah, we gotta sing
