So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show
Take the long way home
take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke
of the neighbourhood
Why should you care

if you're feeling good
Take the long way home,
take the long way home

But there are times that you feel
you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is coming down boy
And then your wife seems to think
you're part of the furniture
Oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home,
take the long way home

And when you're up on stage,
it's so unbelievable
Unforgettable - how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think
you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out

Well does it feel that your life's
become a catastrophe
Oh it has to be for you to grow boy
And when you look through the years
and see what you could have been
Oh what you might have been -
if you'd had more time

So when the day comes
to settle down
Well who's to blame
if you're not around
You took the long way home
Took the long way home.....

I love the twinkle in his eye showing he still loves singing this song after all these years. You can see how he love sharing it with the crowd.

You will be an "old fart" soon enough johnny. While your at it, you Japs saw deep purple right ? \in your own country live?

[blunthonest1]

You're a prime example of crap found across America today! Totally, blatant lack of respect first for yourself and all others! Wish you'd speak like that about him or anyone else in front of me as I'd so smash your fucking mouth into a million pieces making sure you'd never be able to speak again you punk ass piece of shit! Give respect and you receive it. If you don't, then you die. Simple. Old school.

[Luca Dante Lindemann]

... when you write a masterpiece, you can play or sing it on your own and it still sounds like itself: a mastepiece. Genius...

[youreale]

you're not alone.

[oksana price]

British men are so talented and so sexy! I want one!

[jameshisself]

C'mon Rog, The harmonica intro is mandatory for this song. Learn it yourself or hire a player.

Take the long way to Hades, Hodgson. To me, Supertramp never existed because you've made sure it DOESN'T exist on YouTube. Same difference, dip.
