Supertramp - Take the long way home - 2010 remastered lyrics

So you think you're a Romeo Playing a part in a picture show Take the long way home Take the long way home 'Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good? Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery Oh, all the greenery is comin' 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 want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable Oh, unforgettable, how they adore you But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity Oh, calamity, is there no way out? Oh, yeah (Oh, just don't give up) (Don't, don't give it up) (Ooo yeah) Does it feel that you 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 might have been If you'd had more time So, when the day comes to settle down Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home You took the long way home (Tu, ru, ru, yea) You took the long way home You took the long way home (Oh yeah) You took the long way home You took the long way home (Ooo yeah) You took the long way home (Yeah) (Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo) (Yeah) (Long way home) (Long way home) (Long way home)
