Compassion Lyrics


You want more and still more
Until you get more than you ever bargained for
Now it's plain, clear as rain
I've seen your symptoms many times beforeLying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?What of riches are told
In a life without compassion?
For there's no winter as cold
As a life without compassion
There's no prescription that's sold
That can heal you like compassionWell, you tried and you cried
Don't let your disappointment make you hard inside
You have doubt, you reach out
Still you're the only one you care aboutHiding in your sack of woe
What do you need now?For there is nothing so sad
As a life without compassion
(Compassion)
And even love has turned bad
It was love without compassion

(Compassion)
And you don't need what you had
'Cause you did not have compassionDying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?You'll get no judgment from me
I can only feel compassion
(Compassion)
And if that's what you need
I will give you my compassion
(Compassion)
Just don't forget about me
'Cause we all need some compassionOpen up your heart
So you can start to feel compassion
(Compassion)
Get down on your knees
Pray to heaven for compassion
(Compassion)Yeah, yeah everybody needs compassion
(Compassion)
Compassion
(Compassion, compassion)
If you want to be healed
(Compassion)
Then you know you got to feel compassion
(Compassion, compassion)

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
