Radio Paradise (mobile)

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 let you 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 criticise, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come and put out 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 it that way
– you're coming along!

markg063 Apr 04, 2013 - 06:54	I remember being in junior high and my friend's brother came back from college with this album and said we "had" to listen to this. Damn, we loved this. Good to hear the old Supertramp. Great memories of running to his room to listen to it after school.... [ Reply ]
Zeito Apr 04, 2013 - 06:51	I've never heard this on the local Clear Channel classic dreck station. Pretty cool. [ Reply ]
Sloggydog Mar 09, 2013 - 00:49	Damn. Thought I was getting some classic The The at the start. Instead I am still waiting for this song to start - oop there it goes. Not really for me and it keeps stopping again. [ Reply ]
midigitguy Jan 31, 2013 - 11:50	Great read about making of this and lots of other excellent music.. By Ken Scott (with the prolific Bobby Owsinski), engineer/producer extraordinaire... click here DO remember to link to it via RP! [ Reply ]

3Dave Jan 31, 2013 - 11:45	Nice little extra intro by Bill today...very cool... although I must admit "their later works" i.e. "Breakfast in America" are, of course, what then had me back tracking to albums like this one. But yes this whole album was the peak of what Roger and Rick could achieve. When I saw them in concert and that harmonica started?... sends a chill even now... see my journal entry . [ Reply ]
cmarcan Jan 31, 2013 - 11:40	One of the albums I totallly wore out then I was a kid. Had a million skips and I still kept playing it. [ Reply ]
ansugon Jan 31, 2013 - 11:40	"...it stands head and shoulders above their later work..." Well said, Bill, well said. [ Reply ]

Kokoloco53 Nov 03, 2012 - 15:41	Hadn't heard this one in ages, though have their awesome album Even in the Quietest Moments. First time I heard this was at a friend's in Flagstaff Arizona who worked at a Circles record store and bought all kinds of stuff. Billy D also turned me onto my first listen of Genesis, Trick of the Tail?, I didn't appreciate that music until later as well. Great stuff. [ Reply ]
ziakut Oct 29, 2012 - 10:26	This wonderful band kind of got swallowed up by A.M. radio during the 'Breakfast In America' days. This album, though it predates BIA...is absolutely what I really appreciate about this band. Most who were introduced to this band from their more popular tunes...never got to hear this amazing stuff. It's too bad, but kudos to RP for bringing it back to life. [ Reply ]
Carl Oct 08, 2012 - 10:15	I regret not appreciating ST in the day; although I was aware of them, I didn't pay enough attention and lacked the control over the music I heard then compared with now. Thanks again, Bill & Rebecca, for RP! [ Reply ]
