Asylum 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 15 P, I'm dying for a smokeDon't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game I play for fun, for funI told 'em, "Look!" I said "I'm not the way you're thinkin"
Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool
Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum
It's just a game I play for fun, for funWill 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 toBut nothin', no no nothin', does he say
In the morning when the day's begun
"Hello Good morning, how are you?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
"What a lovely afternoon!"

Well I've been living next to youBluesy Monday is the one day that they come here
Yeah when they haunt me and taunt me in my cage
I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small, yeah they got no answer
Yeah they're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rageDon't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
Well It's only a game I play for fun
Yeah I've been tryin' to fool everyone [Incomprehensible]
No that's too heavyWill he take a sailboat ride?
Well, he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Yeah, he ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Well, he is always trying toYeah 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?No I've never been insane
Oh what's the game?
I believe I'm dyingHe's mad, mad, mad
Not quite right

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Supertramp was a British progressive rock and pop band that had a series of top-selling albums in the 1970s.

The band was formed in the United Kingdom in 1969. Co-founder, composer and lead singer, Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983 to bring up his children. In 1988, Supertramp re-formed with some former members plus several new ones, and continue to tour. All the band members were musicians capable of playing multiple types of instruments, including brass and woodwinds.

Music in their early period consisted of ambitious concept albums, but they are best known for their pop songs including "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit"," Goodbye Stranger", and "The Logical Song". The band's name was taken from W.H. Davies' 1908 novel The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp.

Their albums Crime Of The Century (1974) and Even In The Quietest Moments (1977) were both produced by former Beatles producer Ken Scott. Their 1979 album Breakfast In America reached number one on the Billboard album charts (number three in the UK) and was certified Platinum four times by the RIAA.
