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
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on, yeah, yeah

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 anchor
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
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye, stranger, it's 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

Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary)
It's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever)
To set me free (Meet again?)
In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow)
Far away (Feel no shame)
It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow)
Every day (Feel no pain)
So goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary)
Goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever)
Meet again? (Meet again?)

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behaviour
And that'll never bother me
Say the devil is my saviour
But I don't pay no heed

And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Goodbye, stranger, it's 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

Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary)
It's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever)
To set me free (Meet again?)
In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow)
Far away (Feel no shame)
It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow)
Every day (Feel no pain)

So now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary)
Got to go (Goodbye, Jane)
Hit the road (Will we ever)
I'll say it once again (Meet again?)
Oh, yes, I'm leaving (Feel so sorrow)
Got to go (Feel no shame)
Got to go (Come tomorrow)
I'm sorry, I must dash (Feel no pain)
So goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary)
Goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever)
Meet again? (Meet again?)

Oh, I'm leaving
I've got to go

Agreed.  It's a great guitar solo.

I remember when Supertramp made their mark. For some stupid reason, I wrote them off as another so-so pop band. Over the past few months, I've been listening better as Wiliiam has played some of their tracks. Bought a greatest hits CD and, wow, they are good! Every track a winner, interesting song structures, great vocals, great production. Got some catching up to do! Thank you William!

Nice track. But I'd like to hear more "pre-breakthrough" material from the album "Crime of the Century" (in addition to "Dreamer," which is also a nice track but is more popular and well-known than the other tracks on the album). How about the haunting title track from the album, a track that is perfectly positioned as the finale of the album? Even though that track was released in 1974, it continues to "go with" any number of impending disasters resulting from human folly, hubris, and denial, therefore appearing to be perpetually relevant to the moment. That's just one track of an album of solid tracks from start to finish. (Come to think of it, the penultimate track "If Everyone Was Listening" fits that bill as well, which could be a commentary on everything from the failure to save the planet from global climate change to the failure to halt the slide from democracy to autocracy in the U.S.)

I don't have any tattoos either (only bikers, cons, and sailors had them in my youth) BUT if I did have one, I think "Supertramp" would be a great one to have.  It has so many interpretations, including a band name.  And, if I were ever homeless, God forbid, wouldn't it make you king of the camp?

People I grew up with whined that Crime was too 'out there', that Crisis was 'too serious', and that Breakfast was 'just right'. I've always loved most of their catalog, at different times, for different reasons. Piano, sax, horns, drums, and epic video...mmmm!

Back when this was new I bought tickets to a Supertramp  show at the university I was attending.  The seating was assigned by random drawing and I got 2nd row center!  And then they cancelled because the facility couldn't support the lights they apparently wouldn't play without.  Very disappointing.  -1 for that but still a 7.

Heard this song at DFW Airport August 1, 1979, shortly before boarding a 707 to San Francisco.  Quite the song for jetting to the West Coast in a different era.

My brother once had the Supertramp Greatest Hits CD.  The liner notes to that album were one of the greatest examples of creative writing I ever saw. It became  something of a legend in our college.  I sure wish I could find it now.  Something about "whirling dervishes of electric buzz-saw guitar" and "erudite gentleman" and "if ever there was a band meant for CD technology, that band is Supertramp."   God, I wish I could lay my hands on it somehow.

Hard to stay gloomy and doomy in the face of this little tune ain't it?  It reflects a rather cheery point of view when it comes to livin'.  And that ain't bad...it ain't bad t'all.  Just keep your face to the future, and be as happy as you can be!   Goodbye Mary... {#Motor}

 I guess it depends on where one lives or how often one listens to the radio.  I hear this song (or part of it before switching the station) at least three times a month on the car radio (either the "classic rock" station or the "oldies" station) when I'm driving home from work.  Considering I only listen for thirty or forty minutes a day - that's pretty frequent.  I don't even want to think about how often I heard it when it was first released - but I remember it made my high school years more unpleasant than they already were - though that is a tasty guitar solo at the end.

Sure it's poppy as it gets, and totally late 70s but still has a nice ring to it. Maybe cause I'm partial to this band to begin with. Grew up with this band. They were great in concert for this tour back in 79-80.

Nice guitar solo at the end.



 
Wander over to about any Classic Rock station, and they play this and Breakfast. and that is about all one will hear of ST. There was once a station in LaRose La, that played deeper cuts, but it changed programing.
I don't listen to much commercial any longer, and tend to newer stuff than Classic Rock if I do, so I don't get to hear this as much. Tis a good tune.
Glad Bill tosses it in here from time to time.

Yep. But I can't quite see building 7. . . which is the one people should be focussing on. https://www.ae911truth.org/

Boring. I've never been a big falsetto fan either.

I was quite a huge "Tramp" fan back in the day & I have to say that their live shows were quite awesome.  Especially the "Crime of the Century" tour.  Here in Vancouver they were the "biggest thing ever" for a few months.  So, when I hear their tunes on RP, I really enjoy them.  I know that many Classic Rock stations probably play their hits to death, but since I literally NEVER listen to pedestrian radio, I really appreciate hearing tunes like Goodbye Stranger.  I'd love to hear something from "Crisis, What Crisis" or "Rudy" from COTC. Thanks Bill.  As always - a great mix.  :-)

You suggesting Osama got the idea from a Supertramp album cover?

This whole album was completely saturated by commercial radio......and they couldn't have picked a finer one for airplay! Love the whole album and it never gets old!{#Cheers}

I'd like to see that cat play "Fool's Overture." Please post it on YouTube at your earliest convenience. What's that?? Cat's got your tongue?? ;)

Disgusting. Even more so following the lovely Imogene Heap.

 

geeze, don't hold back. For me, if I have to be stuck working Easter Monday, I'd rather do it listening to something light like this {#Roflol}
