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 »

Hide in your shell, 'cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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, 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'
And I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never, ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why don't ya hold yourself down? 

Why don't you listen, you can trust me (So what you gonna take him to?)
Oh there's a place I know the way to (So what you gonna make him 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're not alone (So what's he gonna do?)

Oh won't you hear me? (So what you gonna take him to? )
I know exactly what you're feelin' (So what you gonna make him do?)
'Cause all your troubles are within you (So what's he gonna)
So begin to (So what's he gonna)
To see that I'm just bleeding too (So what's he gonna do?)

Love me love you, love is the way to (So what you gonna take him to?)
Help me help you (So what you gonna make him do?)
Why must we be so cool? (So what's he gonna)
Oh so cruel? (So what's he gonna)
Oh, we're such damn fools (So what's he gonna do?)

(So what you gonna take him to?)
(So what you gonna make him do?)
(So what's he gonna)
(So what's he gonna)
(So what's he gonna do?)
