Supertramp - Maybe I'm A Beggar Lyrics






I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me God is love
But hatred makes the rules

Teach me to fly, so I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky, I would take the whole world in my hand

Well, don't you tell me
I cannot last at all
Before you know I'll come and go
And make you if I can
Maybe I'm a beggar
Just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me

Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?

Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me

Teach me to fly, so I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky, I would take the whole world in my hand
Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?
Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?

  1. A.... ....

    A masterpiece by Supertramp!

  2. K.... M....

    Supertramp... before they became dicks

  3. J.... W....

    Es hat wenige Freunde, aber einen großen Effekt.
    Ich denke an Matze, Andi, Ingo, Henning, Ragnar, Uli, Jörn, Fritzi, meine Frau Cillia, Toni, OK und and Andre', Michael und Carsten und meine 4 Kinder.

  4. E.... E....

    La rosa me parece, super delicado auténtico!!!

  5. p.... r....

    belle chanson, à l'époque 1970 il y avait du talent. 2019 plus de création, tout a disparu.

  6. L.... D....

    Grande brano. Quanti ricordi!!

  7. A.... N....

    Beggar, tramp, what else? Super started to light all the world with lyrics and música like this!!!

  8. S.... L....

    From the finest (unknown) prog album.....ever

  9. F.... T....

    Uno dei migliori album dei Supertramp. Ricordi di gioventù. Questa, insieme a Try again, è una delle mie preferite. Goood.

  10. D.... J....

    The good old days of Supertramp. Music at ist's best

  11. H.... I....

    sublime

  12. M.... f....

    Não sei porque nunca tocaram músicas desse disco ao vivo em nenhum show , só tem musicão !!!!

  13. S.... L....

    Such a shame that so few people have viewed and listened to this truly beautiful composition.

    S.... L....

    ... indeed ... but the actual generations do not appreciate nothing more than virtual/digital so called reality ... and nothing more than the so called cyber /trash social/media ....

    S.... L....

    You know that around 1.5 million of this album were sold, right?

  14. M.... J....

    SEM CONTAR A LINHA DE CONTRA-BAIXO...MARCANTE...PERFEITO...

  15. M.... J....

    DISCO MARAVILHOSO, EM SE TRATANDO DE ESTRÉIA...MAIS DO QUE CLÁSSICO...RESTOU DEMONSTRADO O DNA DO SUPERTRAMP...ESSA MÚSICA É FANTÁSTICA...

  16. M.... J....

    MESMA TIMBRAGEM DO SOLO DO AQUALANGUE (JETRO TULL)...

    M.... J....

    Bellissima canzone di Supertramp ma purtroppo sconosciuta!

    M.... J....

    Aqualung! Jethro*

    M.... J....

    E não... A guitarra do Martn Barre é mais drive!

  17. M.... V....

    It is, in my opinion, one of the best rock songs (and lyrics - "Can we be free in a world where to love is to own?") ever made in history... So beautiful, so sensible, such powerful crescendo and instrumental journey... Supertramp at its best really, for me this is their best album, no doubtsss!

    M.... V....

    Totally agree

    M.... V....

    Also think first album - the best.

    M.... V....

    That's also what I thought. Can we be free when to love is to own? So much food for thought. The whole album has such a sencitive vibe that it's hard not to stand and wonder. La la la la, la la la la

    M.... V....

    @Stefanos Kaiafas
    Agree with that too. Criminally overlooked

  18. M.... S....

    Lo maximo.....para un viaje con sativa...🍀🌲🍀🍁

  19. C.... S....

    Full album is a jewel

  20. D.... O....

    Amo questo pezzo...non tutti lo conoscono...peccato...

  21. L.... ....

    Great song!
