The Logical Song
1979
gbRick Davies / Roger Hodgson
10 chords used in this song
When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
miracle oh it was beautiful magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they'd be singing so happily
Joyfully oh playfully watching me
But then they send me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical oh responsible practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Clinical intellectual cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
I say now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable
(Take it take it take it)
Instrumental x2
At night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
Who I am who I am who I am
