Take The Long Way Home Lyrics
Artist(Band):Supertramp
Review The Song (4)Print the Lyrics
So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
you take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...........

Review about Take The Long Way Home

Supertramp Rock! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/19/2008
    This is one of my favourite songs of all time! It always takes me back to when I was nearly 5years old and my mother was in hospital, after visiting hours were over we would drive home which was an hour drive and without fail this song would always be playing on the radio, it was my sad long drive home song, for that I'll always love it! :-)



    Now you are all alone | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/2008

    I think that Roger was talking about one of his friends.
    Actually a phychic gave this song to me in a reading about a person in my life. In that perspective, it has a whole different meaning.
    So you think you're a Romeo
    playing a part in a picture-show.....
    Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
    Why should you care if you're feeling good...
    You never see what you want to see
    Forever playing to the gallery.....

    Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
    Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
    When you look through the years and see what you could
    have been oh, what might have been,
    if you'd had more time.....
    when the day comes to settle down, who's to blame if you're not around....
    He just tought I'd be there forever, so do you understand, it does have a different meaning!!!!





    What a song | Reviewer: Ed | 5/1/2008

    This song is just one of those tracks I can listen to over and over again and just not get bored with. I think like alot of Rogers songs, that the lyrics have a much deeper meaning than you can see on the surface, I have seen people saying that the song is basically warning that what is being said is that by taking the long time you are wasting time etc, I have to say that my interpretation is the complete opposite.
    In my opinion Roger is telling us the joy of taking the long way to our "home", a plce in our life where we feel good/comfortable and a bit of exploration along the way can help us to grow.

    Great song, great band, great message

    I am pretty sure that Roger is advocating taking the long way "home" by which I take to mean a place in your life, a mindset, where you feel comfortable.
    I think the song is also about remaining true to yourself, "why should you care if youre feeling good"... anyway rant over, my fave song by a mile
