Supertramp: Logical song

Seguimos recordando un poquito de historia. Del álbum Breakfast in America podemos escuchar esta canción, que es un clásico.
Podéis escuchar un montón de adjetivos para describir personas, algunos adverbios de modo en -ly e incluso un ejemplo de such a: such a simple man.
Disfrutad de ella (y de la estética):


Os dejo la letra:
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,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send 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 worlds 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.
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
