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
Im 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 achor
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
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye strange its 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

Now some they do and some they dont
And some you just cant tell
And some they will and some they wont
With some its just as well

You can laugh at my behavior
Thatll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I dont pay no heed

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger its been nice etc...

I feel it's a really old song (by their hairstyle!), but the lyrics are very hopeful and interesting. I like it.:)

Hi yunheecho,

Yes, you are right! The video is very old; I think that it's from the last time that Roger Hodgson (the singer of the group) performance with Supertramp in 1983.

I really admire Roger Hodgson not because he is a musician, a composer and a songwriter, if not because he plays too many instruments as the same time he sings.

Since I know he decided to leave Supertramp because he became disillusioned with the music business in Los Angeles but not because he was thinking in star his own solo career.
Now that his kinds are old he started to performance again. Here you have a video from a concert on Montreal in 2006. Believe or not it’s the same person…after 23 years.

Enjoy it!

Sofia.

Lyrics

Breakfast in America

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do

Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Hi, cou~

I enjoyed watching above the second music video. Thanks for your kindness!
Though I don't know well about this musician, I feel you really like him as one of the great musicians and to enjoy his music.:)
Thanks for your recommending his another song.
But, it is a little bit hard for me to understand what the lyrics mean exactly .

Anyway, it is unbelievable that the two men are the same person!

Wow~ are two men the same person? I can't believe it!

In my case, the second one makes me more excited and funny. I can't figure out what he saying in his song, but its feeling is like country music. Anyway, I can refresh myself with this song, so I am very happy now!!
