The Logical Song (Live at Pavillon de Paris - 1979)

Thank you very much and welcome

We have a new album out

It's released six weeks ago

We want to play you a little something from there

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily

Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Oh, clinical, I'm intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?

I know it sounds absurd

But please, tell me who I am

I said, now watch what you say, or they'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable

Oh, take it, take it, take it, yeah

But at night, when all the world's asleep

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please? (Won't you tell me?)

Please tell me what we've learned

(Can't you help me?) I know it sounds absurd

(Won't you tell me?) But please, tell me who I am

Who I am?

Who I am?

Who I am?

Oh, whoo!

Alright

Ooh, yeah-yeah

'Cause I'm feelin' so logical, yeah

D-d-d-d-d-digital

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Oh, I know you think it's unbelievable, yeah

Whoo!

B-b-b-b-bloody marvelous
