1a canzone al giorno

Oggi facciamo tre passi indietro e dal 1982 andiamo al 1979. Esce l'album "Breakfast in America" dei Supertramp e oltre alla canzone che dà il titolo al disco un'altra delle superhit è "Goodbye stranger" usata in diverse colonne sonore di film americani e anche in un episodio della serie italiana "Romanzo criminale". E proprio grazie ad un fan della serie mi è stato possibile trovare un video con la versione originale della canzone per poterla pubblicare. Altrimenti su Youtube ho trovato centinaia di live e cover. A questo punto avete capito qual'è la canzone del giorno quindi buon sabato e a domani!

Goodbye stranger (Supertramp)

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

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 achor
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

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 behavior
that’ll never bother me
say the devil is my savior
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
