  • This song is the musings of a womanizer. That's it. Case closed. Pure and simple. This is a song about a guy who loves to fuck chicks, but for his own reasons can never be attached and have a relationship. Period. THAT IS WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT! DONE!

  • @braddyboy82 I agree on that but your not Rick Davies so it's not 100% true.

  • It's about both giving up weed and leaving those girls. It's just the way you want it to be understood.

  • Micheal Scott sings it better...

  • For the record, this song is really about giving up smoking weed.

  • raydogg1977 thank you for your voice of reason ~

  • @pimpinhector literally it is written about a love affair between man / woman - but metaphorically its about giving up weed. try & look deeper ; i`ve been gettin` high for over 30 yrs. i know what the song is about - also see last dance with mary jane & don`t come around here no more , tom petty

  • @akashaman maybe it's time to put down the bong bro hahaha (never thought i'd say that).

    But seriously, the song is only about weed if you MAKE it about weed. I just don't see enough evidence in the lyrics to suggest that it's about bud.

  • i talked to roger & he says its about da dro , so shut the fuck up

  • @akashaman Bullshit nigga you on crack dont be makin up lies saying you talked to roger. And bitch don't be telling me to shut the fuck up fake ass nigga.

  • love this song

  • Well all songs lyrics, and movies, and fictional literature all have figurative meaning or symbolic meaning. There is obviously two stories being told, one with him giving up his one night stands and the less obvious reference to giving up weed . Most people focus on the literal meaning without understanding that there is always a symbolic meaning to movies , books, and songs.

  • @budhunter09 the whole song is about givin up da weed - "sweet devotion is not for me" ? -- "come tomorrow , feel no pain " -- " will we ever meet again " ? -- "some they do & some they don`t & some its just as well" -- "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" , etc , etc

  • @akashaman Yeah you even know what Devotion is?, Come tomorrow is referring to a girl, Feel no pain means he doesn't want her to be sad, Will we ever meet again means he wants to meet with her again someday, some they do and some they don't means, some want to f*** him and some don't. Some it's just as well means, if they don't want to do him then so be it, Goodbye stranger obviously to the girls he leaves, It's been nice means he had a great time shoving his you know what in her you know what,

  • hope you find your paradise basically means hope you have a nice life and is saying farewell to her, tried to see your point of view means shes mad at him for leaving her, and hope your dreams will all come true is a farewell... I know Rick Davies man LOL I know SUPERTRAMP.

  • @akashaman actually roger himself said it means any problem your attached to. drugs, lust, etc.

  • @akashaman nah you're confused its obviously about a girl don't be stupid.

  • @pimpinhector goodbye mary , goodbye jane - mary-jane -- doh ~ this song is about givin` up da weed. read the lyrics again

  • @akashaman No it's not. Trust me I would know. It's about him giving up one night stands. The mary and jane references are just there to make you guys think it is. Rick Davies like making people think about his songs. He's very creative.

  • @pimpinhector Close but no cigar lol The song's not about him giving up anything. "Sweet devotion it's NOT for me. Just give me MOTION, and Set Me FREE." He's not saying that he's giving it up, he's saying that this is what he does and it's not gonna change. "Now I believe that what you say is the undisputed truth, BUT I've got to have it My Own Way to keep me in my youth."

  • @pimpinhector While I agree with your statement about Rick Davies liking to make people think about his songs, you are only looking at it from one perspective. How do you know its not a double meaning, or better yet, metaphorical? Would that not be more creative then if it was just about leaving a girl? Seems a little over done, not gonna lie. Either way, great song. Supertramp rocks!!

  • im 13 and i love rock and roll music!!!! i like the who as well!!! i dont see why everybody else hates this music!!! its some of the best in the world!!

  • great tune no matter how old you are. its called timeless music

  • That solo at the end has to be one of the classics. Makes me wonder just how good Roger really is with a guitar and how underrated he is compared to the classic rock guitarists of his era.

  • Goodbye Tobey!

  • I like bad romance. Maybe not all the rest but that song get's to me. Sick huh!

  • porque sera! ja nao se fazem musicas e letras dessa qualidade,que passou com o sentimento,agora tudo eh odio,raiva. A musica de hoje serve so para separar e desconfiar de tudo e de todos!!

  • goodbye Mary good bye Jane..could he be talking about his last few doobieS?

  • @thechildrenzplace No, about one night stands.

  • @thechildrenzplace I'm talking about my last few doobies!  :)

  • Outstanding Job !!!

  • i am 17 and i love classics like this song, whats wrong with the rest of teens!?!?

  • @Forte9000 LOL I'm 14 and I live in Southern California ;D

  • @pimpinhector we got to stick together man all those other teens are listening to shit

  • @Forte9000 ill tell you what haping hip hop, pop and lame rap songs that's what happin shame of music of today what happin to the clasics

  • @FanBoys2010 agreed man i can't stand that mainstream bullshit. This is where the good music is at!!!

  • @FanBoys2010 IK MAN ITS SAD

  • @Forte9000 da world has change of music :(

  • @FanBoys2010 When I turn 21 If I get permission I'm asking Rick Davies and his agent if I can keep Supertramp alive because they're getting old..somebody has to keep that little spark that Supertramp still has going.

  • @FanBoys2010 yeah and the new shit sounds so bad

  • @Forte9000 ya like freking lady gaga wat the shit thats not ive"n music

  • @Forte9000 its just sad :"(

  • @Forte9000 there some cool ones out there,rock on, friend

  • Goodbye Toby!

  • @Blackcat5595 hahaha

  • I first heard this song play on my local oldies station and had to track it down. Amazing song.

  • Cool ! Thanks dude !

  • Great job PimpH. I like that little note in mid-stream of the song. ..clever.

  • NUCKA DISLIKE DIS SO IT DON'T BE 187 LIKEZ KUZ NO MURDA IN DIS SONG LUL

  • @sigrunfinns What?

  • @pimpinhector lol wtf????

  • @olpkui Lol like seriously what in the shit did he attempt to say?

  • @pimpinhector They said "ni88er do not like this and that is why there are 187 likes because there are no murders in this song" LOL

    Which is still stupid, even translated.

  • @pimpinhector transltion: its gangster slang, this man/boy is clearly uneducated and probably comes from the ghetto, anyways the likes must have been at 186, and he's saying someone disliked it so it wouldn't be the number 187, which according to hoodlums or whatever symbolizes murdering or shooting other "homies" up, driveways etc. hope that helps

  • @NotYourAverageJoe321 drivebys*

  • @NotYourAverageJoe321 I see...

  • @pimpinhector I think he's trying to say the song sucks because it is not about murder.

  • @sigrunfinns You're an idiot.

    

  • @sigrunfinns

    I'm usually good at decoding shit like this... but I'm not sure how to read this!

  • @zap54312 LOL

  • Tropy girl Como un rey sin un castillo Como una reina sin un trono Yo soy un amante de la mañana temprano Y debo mudarme. Y yo continuaré resplandeciente Brillando como una espada nueva Nunca miraré detrás de mí Mis problemas serán unos pocos. Adiós forastero, ha sido lindo Espero que encuentres tu paraíso Intenté ver tu punto de vista Espero que todos tus sueños se realicen,¿Nos encontraremos alguna otra vez? No sientas tristezas, no sientas vergüenza. Adiós forastero, ha sido bonito.

  • Wow...I heard this song on the radio today and ive heard it many times.I was wanting the song with lyrics.You did a great job and its a great song! Thanks for posting!

  • Thank you for posting this one. I am walking on the thin line of suicide, and this song reminded me of the things that make me value being alive. Again, THANK YOU!!!!

  • @Gilbert2112 You are so welcome. Don't let anything bring you down. Certainly not a girl. If that's the case.

  • @pimpinhector Thanks to you again.

  • @Gilbert2112 No problem if you need somebody to talk to. I'll be here.

  • @Gilbert2112 . Been there. Turn to God and he is my strenght when I feel I can't go on.

  • @Gilbert2112 TMI 

  • @Gilbert2112 YOU SLY DOG YOU

  • @SamFoxFan17IAm Huh??

  • this song needs more cowbell in it!!!!!!!

  • love this song :P

  • Make no mistake about it, I loathe this song, and the band SuperTramp. Hearing this and that God forsaken song Take the Long way home every 15 minutes on the radio at work might have something to do with this fact; however, I desperately needed to know the lyrics, as I can't understand..so seriously THANK YOU. You might..just might have eased my pain a little bit now that I know what in the hell they are saying..lol

  • I deserve a thank you for being the only one to upload the lyrics on YouTube ;ppp haha

  • love the tambourine at the end

    

  • What does this song talks abuot? it´s really beautiful

  • @ghostraider9500 About a man who has sex with women for one night and leaves them the next day.

  • Goodbye drugs? Mary Jane Maryjane Goodbye women? Mary Jane could be goodbye to any addiction. any input anyone? great lyrics? someone says that about every song.

  • @nursemargie1 About a man who needs to stop having one night stands.
