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.

[TomReichner]

This is a good recording, but I would really prefer to hear the Supertramp version, as originally included on the "Breakfast in America" album. Why is this not on YouTube?

[jaleach123]

I like the song of course but does anyone else think this likes a cult type thing? Doesn't Roger kind of look like a cult leader and look at the reaction of the audience.

[70sgirl1961]

Why can we not find Supertramp on here? Only Roger. Yes, he was the voice of the band, but why can't we find original recordings???

[Mona Glodde]

i ran away from home about 78 in edmonton alberta canada to see supertramp  they rock still

[sailorswife74]

That Was Amazing!I like the sound of the piano!!!!!!!!!!!

[9057979]

Sorry but this version really SUCKS

[Julliet208]

Thumbs up if your favorite part is "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...".

[Edgar Moraes]

ÓTIMA SOUNDTRACK!!!

[headings50]

Does anyone know why there no old SUPERTRAMP videos on you tube, I would prefer the older sound a little more. I assume Roger owns the rights and is being an ass about it.
