about
Written by Rick Davies, Roger Hodson (Supertramp)
lyrics
When I was young it seemed life was so wonderful
A miracle, it was beautiful, magical
All the birds in the trees they were singing so happily
Joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Clinical, 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 watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, fanatical, a criminal
Won’t you sign up your name
We’d like to feel you’re acceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable
Oh take it, take it, take it, yeah
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 Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Cause I was feeling so
Feeling so
A miracle, it was beautiful, magical
All the birds in the trees they were singing so happily
Joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Clinical, 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 watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, fanatical, a criminal
Won’t you sign up your name
We’d like to feel you’re acceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable
Oh take it, take it, take it, yeah
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 Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Cause I was feeling so
Feeling so

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
