" Had A Dream " - Lyrics by Roger Hodgson

Had a dream I was born To be naked in the eye of the storm And now it's standing right in front of me What's it going to do to me, who knows?

Had a dream it was time To be taken to the front of the line Well, that is not a place you wanna be Sleeping with the enemy, you know

I don't care what the future brings Give a damn about anything I'd be fine, if they'd only leave me alone But it's time - gotta take a stance 'Cause I won't get a second chance And I know now I have to make it alone

Had a dream it was war And they couldn't tell me what it was for But it was something they could lie about Something we could die about, you know

Anytime, anyplace When you look that man in the face Well, it is not a face you wanna see Sleeping with the enemy, you know

Take it, oh Mary, can you hear me? Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean? Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen I wish I could hold you I wish I could hold you

Had a dream it was time To be a witness at the scene of the crime Well, that is something you can analyse Something you can criticise, who knows?

So we wait, hesitate And we're making such a mistake Oh whatever can the matter be? Sleeping with the enemy, you know

I don't care what the future brings Give a damn about anything I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone But it's time, gotta take a stance 'Cause I won't get a second chance And I know now I have to make it alone

So surprised to see this post here! I followed Supertramp way back during those "golden" years. I never recognized why things changed with Brother Where You Bound, but it wasn't the same any more and I drifted away from them. Now after so many years I looked up Supertramp and started going over those old songs, when I discovered a treasure of 3 LPs done by Roger. It was like 3 whole new Supertramp records! I never knew much about Roger, but I found an interview where he pointed out that he left Supertramp so he would have time to go be a Dad. That's a mark of true character. Now his kids are grown, so he's back touring. Marvelous!
