Supertramp - Asylum - live at pavillon de paris/1979 lyrics
Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was 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 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 the clown, I'll play the fool Please don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's just a game I play for fun – for fun Is it really? Will he take a sailboat ride? Well, he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Well, he ain't very likely to Will he tell you he's alive? Yeah, he is always trying to Yeah but nothin', no no nothin' does he say In the morning when the days begun – "Hello, Good morning, how are you?" And in the evening or the noonday sun – "Oh, what a lovely afternoon!" Well I've been living next to you Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here Yeah, when they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage Oh, in my cage I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer Yeah, they're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rage Don't arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum Well it's only a game I'm playin' for fun Yeah I've been tryin' to fool everyone Oh, but they still taunt me Oh, is it really? No, that's too heavy Will he take a sailboat ride? Well, he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? He ain't ever likely to Will he tell you he's alive? He is always trying to But nothin', no no nothin' does he ever 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? Now I've never been insane Oh what's the game? I believe I'm dying... He's mad, mad, mad... Not quite right (Not quite right) Oooooooo...........
