Alright
Here we go again

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you

There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

Alright, alright

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Oh, give a little bit of your time to me

See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised

Oh, take it

Come along
Come on

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I give a little bit
I give a little bit of my life for you

Now's the time that we need to share
So, find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
Oh, yeah, we gotta see

You gotta get a feeling
You come along too

You can come along too, yeah
Come a—, come a—, come a—, come along

Cha, cha, cha
Ooh, yeah, come along too
Yeah, come along too, yeah
Sing Betty Lou

Come along too
What a long ride
Come a long way
Ooh, sing it tonight

Helliwell sax great on all of these Supertramp recordings. Instinctive and polished. Thanks for the play!

Great use of the Saxophone on this song. The electric piano, sax and Hodgson's voice are the Supertramp sound and I love it.

One of those songs that was great the first 100 times you heard it.  Slowly it starts to wane.  There are SOOOO many other Supertramp songs that I wish were played more on RP!

Seven years late, now a 7.7. Just about matches the 8 I gave it. 



Holding 7.7 in 2024!

I love this song, but I don't think it's in the right mix. It's not mellow to me.

The Three Gees (School kids, very well produced) did a great cover of this. Then Roger Hoghson invited them onstage during a show to do it with him. Its on Youtube. Don't know what became of the kids, guess they went to school...?

Check out Paris - their live album. Every song a classic.

"School" on Crime of the Century is just fantastic.

Interesting. I was one of the frist 7 votes and each of the votes was a different rating. Is this song really that polarizing?



That's quite common. But you'll then also often see it turns into a bell curve like this one in the end ;)

Right up there with CAMEL as one of the best of the PROG ROCK ERA

Great! Overplayed on the radio when it came out! Much better NOW in FLAC w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC!  Thanx RP!

They didn't seem "overlooked" from where I was either - it seemed like they were constantly played on the radio from the mid-1970s to the early '80s.

I always thought this song didn't "belong" on this album. Much like "Money" on DSOTM, it stands out as an obvious hit single that doesn't mesh with the style of the other songs on the record.

"The lead singer"? They have two lead singers and they split the vocals depending on which one wrote the song. This one is Roger Hodgson, the other is Rick Davies.

To hear Rick, listen to "Bloody Well Right".

Nice to see the song nudging upwards, now a 7. Hopefully my 9 helped.

Always just like finger nails on a blackboard. A very unfortunate flashback to the late ’70’s….

This whole album is stellar.  Hearing this track gives me a hankering to go listen to the whole thing again.

Hard to say whether this or Crime was their pinnacle.  Probably not Breakfast.


Crisis What Crisis also has some great tracks...ah the 70s

Great memories of High Life in High School! Sure love the cover photo, too — Indian Peaks, Colorado in the background! from behind the old Caribou Studio...
