I would have thought.. Dreamer comes into the category of classic song (1974 )

( Richard Davies/Roger Hodgson )

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 laugh 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.

( Richard and Rodge...wonder which one wrote the lyrics and which one wrote the music ? )
(Dont hear much of Supertramp these days but they had a golden patch back in the glam 70s )

I remember them, they seemed to have their most success in the late 70s but unfortunately they still dressed and sounded like they were in the late 60s

Is this thread open for any classic song or just a dissection of Supertramp's career?

Anyway, Its Raining Again and Give A Little Bit

songs in the 50s and early 60s often had
a little intro verse...
eg
Venus must have heard my plea
She has sent someone along for me
(Long long live love Sandy Shore )

Abba resurrected that quaint fashion
in the 1970s with....

Lay your head on my breast so you hear
Every beat of my heart
There is nothing atall that can keep us apart
Touch my tits, close your eyes and feel with your fingertips,
Things that you do, dont you know Im crazy for you !

Kisses of Fire of course
