This song is either from my first or second concert. I'm not sure if Supertramp or CS&N was my first concert. Either way, it was a great concert. Supertramp was great live and I was up really close at the Pacific Amphitheater (which is sadly no longer in existence).
Goodbye Stranger -- Supertramp
Feel free to karaoke right along.
Goodbye Stranger -- Supertramp
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion is not for me
[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/bMg ]
Just give me motion, set me free
The land and the ocean, far away
The life I've chosen every day
So goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion is not for me
Just give me motion, set me free
The land and the ocean, far away
The life I've chosen every day
Now I'm leavin' - got to go
Hit the road - I'll say it once again
Oh, yes I'm leavin' - got to go
Got to go now
I'm sorry I must tell you
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Suite Judy Blue Eyes is another song, again in my 1st or 2nd concert. Other notables include Leaving On A Jet Plane, Cruel To Be Kind, about half the songs from Grease, zero songs from Grease 2, and Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.
"And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." And now I can get out of the car...
Great song -- been a long time since I've heard it.
ReplyDeleteJudging from the rest of your list, you like it when guys sing falsetto? If so, where's Prince's "Kiss"?
Thanks for this. Supertramp is one of those groups I'll hear on the radio and think, "I have to download some of that." But then, I never remember when I'm sitting at the computer. So hey, I'm downloading some of their stuff NOW.
ReplyDeleteRL, I like Prince, but I'm cool turning off the car...
ReplyDeleteHal, the stranger part for me is why I don't ever buy these songs. I have some on tape or records, but I never listen to them there.
I think it's the uncontrollable and spontaneous nature of having the song just "come on."
Plus, when it's on the radio, you know others are listening to it at the EXACT same time. Maybe even Mary or Jane...
