Roger Hodgson - Take The Long Way Home (From "Take The Long Way Home" DVD)

So you think you're a RomeoPlaying a part in a picture-showTake the long way homeTake the long way home
Cos you're the joke of the neighborhoodWhy should you care if you're feeling goodTake the long way homeTake the long way home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the sceneryAll the greenery is comin' down, boyAnd then your wife seems to think you're part of the furnitureOh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nightsYou take a trip to the city lightsAnd take the long way homeTake the long way home
You never see what you want to seeForever playing to the galleryYou take the long way homeTake the long way home
And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievableUnforgettable, how they adore youBut then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanityOh, calamity, is there no way out?
Althought you feel that you life's become a catastropheOh, it has to be for you to grow, boyWhen you look through the years and see what you could have beenOh, what you might have beenIf you'd had more time
So, when the day comes to settle downWho's to blame if you're not around?You took the long way homeYou took the long way home
