Supertramp - Rudy (Song Reaction & Brief Analysis)

Rock Drummer, reacting to Rudy by Supertramp after hearing it for the first time in 20 years: Lyrics: 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 had 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 but too late, too late, 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 I didn't dare, I didn't dare What good advice are you waiting to hear? Hearing's alright for them that's all there Hearing's alright 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 Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
