Take the Long Way Home

(By Supertramp) So you think youre a romeo Playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos youre the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if youre feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel youre part of the scenery All the greenery is comin down, boy And then your wife seems to think youre part of the Furniture oh, its 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 youre up on the stage, its so unbelievable, Unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think youre losing your sanity, Oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you lifes become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could Have been oh, what might have been, If youd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Whos to blame if youre not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home...
