Todd Rundgren - Imagination Lyrics






I am what I am and that's all that I am
I tell myself

I have no demands, I don't have a plan
To sell myself

Every day's the same old song

Go along and get along

Nothing's ever right or wrong

What is hell? The same old smell
The same old situation
No imagination

Whatever life brings, eventually things
Will just work out

Whenever they don't I certainly won't
Be found about

Every new year I resolve

Never gotten past day twelve

Just a problem I can't solve

What is death? The train has left
And you're still in the station
No imagination

    There are no credible Music Genres this man cannot spank into shape

  6. a.... g....

    wow - so what is the Todd album where there really is no magnificent tune? maybe Global is the riskiest proposition but it grows on you - he's got some sort of gem everytime out, and over 50 years - a longer span than anyone bar none, whether Doc Pomus Jerome Kern even Irving Berlin

  7. E.... M....

    In case you were sleeping: This song is todd rundgren's best. It starts annoying, boring, only to kick you in your arse for your bad judgement a minute later. ;-) Respect Todd.

  8. M.... S....

    a repeat..... not stepping out of the lines..... living with out any thought ..... of imagining something different ....... than wha t I have known.... to be more .... being a one to go on.....creating ..... what my mind can ... dream.... to be what I want to be.... not wha t you say I must be......we all step ou t sid e the lines... like a child coloring... lines going in every direction...….. learning who we will b e... lo ve the one that COLORS OUTSIDE THE LINES...

  9. J.... C....

    I am what I am, Popeye!!

  10. s.... c....

    Got Todd?

  11. F.... S....

    INCREDIBLE

  12. M.... K....

    If I listened to this without knowing the artist I'd have guessed Steven Wilson.

  13. E.... M....

    one of his most powerful songs

  14. R.... 8....

    I've never been able to wear this song out. I keep playing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

  15. R.... 8....

    I cannot get enough of this song.

  16. t.... ....

    Holy hell ! How did I miss this ? I was really put off by the whole dance thing... f me. Love the ..... sound.......

  17. G.... S....

    My very first serious listen to this begins now.

  18. R.... B....

    the new- "$tate" -/ by TRundgren is very informative and delicious... .

    R.... B....

    i bought some" State " shoes from a secondhand store once...that was what they were called "State" the brand /
    i figured they must be communist manufactured or something...anyway i bought them ..just curious, you know
    as soon as i walked out of the door with them on... the soles came off ...and they blew out on me and were basically like a detonation worthless...

    R.... B....

    State is for the soul, not the sole. ;) ♫♪♫

    R.... B....

    @Roberts Bud you must be on the wrong video comments because I don't get the comparison between the song and second hand shoes? You get what you pay for unless you're into communism ...

  19. D.... T....

    I have been since the nazz days he just keeps getting better I am 65 now am I going to live long enough to hear it all don,t

    D.... T....

    +Don Thoburn / the new $tate Lp by Rundgren rocks .../ you're only 65 ...man? wait til your 79

  20. J.... M....

    We luv you, Todd and SOH!

  21. M.... B....

    One of the best songs from State, thanks!

  22. -.... H....

         THE SKINNY WHITEBOY WITH THE RAINBOW HAIR IS BACK!!!! I wish Micheal McDowell (1955-1988) was still around to hear this.

    -.... H....

    he hasnt gone anywhere

  23. P.... ....

    I will be devastated if he doesn't play this Sunday night.

  24. l.... ....

    The live presentation of this is extraordinary. A true highlight in his later years.  The rest of the album is so so..

    l.... ....

    +leonakita    how about "Something From Nothing" & Sir Reality...also extraordinary

    l.... ....

    what do you expect

    l.... ....

    Why? did you leave the show after that song? That whole show was fantastic.

    l.... ....

    I also love Ping Me and Something From Nothing.

    l.... ....

    he is still here .... right ?

  25. P.... t....

    Fabulosoooooo !!!!

  26. b.... ....

    cannot wait to see Todd in st louie...

  27. P.... O....

    Prachtig!!

  28. g.... ....

    Brilliant song. It's cool how first the sections are played separately and then they're woven together over and over again as the vocal sings "over and over and over and over"...

  29. C.... ....

    Excellent ! ~ Thank you for posting this 2011musicluvr

  30. P.... E....

    yes. rebirth.

  31. d.... ....

    Just when I thought that maybe his best days were behind him..........THIS! It has such a big sound, great chord structure, and a simple, but brilliant lead guitar part. Of course, nobody can play the recording studio as well as Todd can.

    d.... ....

    @MorbidManMusic - uh huh, yeah... remind me to buy your next album, bud

  32. v.... ....

    I was trying to find a pair of the sunglasses that Todd used to wear years ago (each lens a different shape) and couldn't find them... but was led to HiTek Designs site... this music goes SO well with the stuff I was lookin' at.

    v.... ....

  37. E.... ....

    This song, In my car. Subwoofers on. Coming across the SF Bay bridge. 3:30am. It was as close to a religious experience as I will ever get.

    E.... ....

    Yes, I have no clue how Todd managed this song, but it is impressive. Heavy. True. Too much. Too good! :-)

  38. r.... s....
