Crime Of The Century

Reseña

El tercer álbum de Supertramp es este "Crime Of The Century", al que la banda llegaba con dudas sobre su continuidad. De hecho, el grupo llegó a disolverse tras su anterior trabajo, "Indelibly Stamped", publicado en 1971. Roger Hodgson y Rick Davies, en el papel de líderes de la banda, tuvieron que recomponerla para poder cumplir el contrato firmado con la discográfica y salir de la bancarrota en la que se encontraban.

Tras ponerse a trabajar en una granja de Somerset entre finales de 1973 y principios de 1974, donde grabaron el álbum "Crime Of The Century", lograron impregnar a los temas con un sonido claro y con unos imaginativos efectos de sonido. En la producción se deja sentir el trabajo de Ken Scott. El éxito de "Crime Of The Century" fue enorme y permitió a sus integrantes liquidar las deudas acumuladas con sus trabajos anteriores.

La portada del álbum fue obra del artista Paul Wakefield, con unas rejas  de cárcel y dos manos agarradas a ellas, en una imagen que resultó icónica.

    letra de School

    I can see you in the morning when you go to school
    Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
    Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
    And be like Johnnie-too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
    He's coming along..
    After school is over you're playing in the park
    Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
    They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
    And grow up just like them, won't you let it work it out
    And you're full of doubt
    Don't do this and don't do that
    What are they trying to do?
    Make a good boy of you
    Do they know where it's at?
    Don't criticize, they're old and wise
    Do as they tell you to
    Don't want the devil to
    Come out and put your eyes
    Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
    Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
    But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
    It's always up to you if you want to be that
    Want to see that
    Want to see that way
    You're coming along

    letra de Bloody Well Right

    So you think your schooling's phony
    I guess it's hard not to agree
    You say it all depends on money
    And who is in your family tree
    Right, you're bloody well right
    You know you got a right to say
    Right, you're bloody well right
    You know you got a right to say
    Ha-ha you're bloody well right
    You know you're right to say
    Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
    You know you're right to say
    Me, I don't care anyway!
    Write your problems down in detail
    Take them to a higher place
    You've had your cry, no, I should say wail
    In the meantime hush your face
    Right, quite right, you're bloody well right
    Right, you're bloody well right
    You know you got a right to say
    Right, you're bloody well right
    You know you got a right to say

  3. Hide In Your ShellVer letra 6:48

    letra de Hide In Your Shell

    Hide in your shell 'cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride
    What will you gain making your life a little longer?
    Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
    Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker
    Too frightening to listen to a stranger
    Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
    You're waiting for someone to understand you
    But you've got demons in your closet
    And you're screaming out to stop it
    Saying life's begun to cheat you
    Friends are out to beat you
    Grab on to what you scramble for
    Don't let the tears linger on inside now
    'Cause it's sure time you gained control
    If I can help you, if I can help you
    If I can help you, just let me know
    Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
    To get your heart back and on the road
    If I can help you, if I can help you
    If I can help you, just let me know.
    All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight
    What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
    I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
    How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
    Too frightening- the fire's getting colder
    Too beautiful- to think you're getting older
    You're looking for someone to give an answer.
    But what you see is just an illusion
    You're surrounded by confusion
    Saying life's begun to cheat you
    Friends are out to beat you
    Grab on to what you can scramble for
    Don't let the tears
    Just let me know
    I want to know
    I want to know you
    Well let me know you
    I want to feel you
    I want to touch you
    Please let me near you
    Can you hear what I'm saying?
    Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
    I know what you're thinkin'
    See what you're seein'
    Never ever let yourself go
    Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
    Why d'ya hold yourself down?
    Why don't you listen, you can
    Trust me,
    There's a place I know the way to
    A place there is need to feel you
    Feel that you're alone
    Hear me
    I know exactly what you're feelin'
    'Cause all your troubles are within you
    Please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
    Love me, love you
    Loving is the way to
    Help me, help you
    Why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?
    Oh, we're such damn fools

    letra de Asylum

    Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain wal always winnin',
    I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke
    I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing
    To lend me 15p - I'm dying for a smoke
    Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
    I'm just as sane as anyone
    It's a just a game I play for fun - for fun.
    I told em - look! - I said I'm not the way you're thinkin,
    Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool.
    Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum
    It's just a game I play for fun - for fun.
    Will he take a sailboat ride?
    He is very likely to,
    Will he feel good inside?
    He ain't very likely to,
    Will he tell you he's alive?
    He is always trying to
    But nothin', no nothin', does he say
    In the morning when the day's begun
    - 'Hello Good morning, how are you?'
    And in the evening or the noonday sun
    - 'What a lovely afternoon!'
    Well I've been living next to you
    Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here,
    When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage.
    I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer
    They're playin' dumb but I'm just lauging as they rage
    Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
    It's only a game I play for fun
    I've been foolin' everyone - everyone.
    Will he take a sailboat ride?
    He is very likely to
    Will he fool good insidie?
    He ain't ever likely to
    Will he tell you he's alive?
    He is always tryin' to
    But nothin', no nothin' does he vere say
    In the morning when the day's begun
    - 'Do you think it looks like rain'?
    And in the evening or the noonday sun
    - 'You know I nearly missed my train'
    Well I've been living next to you my friend
    But what kind of friend are you?
    Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
    Will I ever see it through?
    I've never been insane
    Oh what's the game?
    I believe I'm dying
    He's mad, mad, mad
    Not quite right

    letra de Dreamer

    Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said "Far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
    You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
    Now there's not a lot I can do
    Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
    So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
    I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
    You know, well you know you had it comin' to you,
    Now there's not a lot I can do.
    Well work it out someday
    If I could see something
    You can see anything you want boy
    If I could be someone
    You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
    If I could do something
    Well you can do something,
    If I could do anything
    Well can you do something out of this world?
    Take a dream on a Sunday
    Take a life, take a holiday
    Take a lie, take a dreamer
    dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along
    Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
    Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
    Oh no!

    letra de Rudy

    Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
    He don't want to get there, but he needs time
    He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
    After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
    He needs time - he needs time for livin',
    He needs time - for someone just to see him.
    He ain't haid no lovin'
    For no reason or rhyme
    And the whole world's above him.
    Well it's not as though he's fat-
    No there's more to this than that-
    See he tries to play it cool-
    Wouldn't be nobody fool.
    Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
    But recently he could see that it may come too late.
    All through your life, all through the years
    Nobody loved, nobody cared.
    So dim the light, dark are your fears
    Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
    How can you live without love, it's not fair?
    Someone said give but I just didn't dare.
    What good advice are you waiting to hear?
    Hearing's alright for them that's all there
    You'd better gain control now
    You'd better show 'em all now
    You'd better make or break now
    You'd better give and take now
    You'll have to push and shove now
    You'll have to find some love now
    You'd better gain control now.
    Now he's just come out the movie.
    Numb of all the pain,
    Sad but in a while he'll soon be
    Back on his train

    letra de If Everyone Was Listening

    The actors and jesters are here
    The stage is in darkness and clear
    For raising the curtain
    And no-ones quite certain whose play it is
    How long ago, how long
    If only we had listened then.
    If wed known just how right we were going to be.
    For we dreamed a lot
    And we schemed a lot
    And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell apart.
    If everyone was listening you know
    There'd be a chance that we could save the show
    Who'll be the last clown
    To bring the house down?
    Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
    Well, what is your costume today?
    Who are the props in your play?
    You're acting a part which you thought from the start
    Was an honest one.
    Well how do you plead?
    An actor indeed!
    Go re-learn your lines,
    You don't know what you've done
    The finales begun.
    If everyone was listening you know
    There'd be a chance that we could save the show,
    Who'll be the last clown
    To bring the house down?
    Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall.

    letra de Crime Of The Century

    Now they're planning the crime of the century
    Well what will it be?
    Read all about their schemes and adventuring
    It's well worth a fee
    So roll up and see
    And they rape the universe
    How they've gone from bad to worse
    Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
    Rip off the masks and let see.
    But that's not right - oh no, what's the story?
    There's you and there's me
    Thank you for that
