Alright, here’s a song that’s been happily stuck in my head. “The Logical Song” by Supertramp. Eat it up. If you want to listen to it online without really downloading it*, then you can check it out here, and if you prefer a torrent, then here’s one for ya.

Aside from just being catchy in general, the lyrics are pretty interesting, too, both in terms of word play and intriguing meanings. Enjoy!

Supertramp – The Logical Song Lyrics

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they’d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh 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

Now watch what you say
Or they’ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won’t you sign up your name
We’d like to feel you’re
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable

At night when all the world’s asleep
The questions run soo 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

*Actually, every time you get or view something on the internet, you download it and it’s stored temporarily. But shhh.
