Rudy

[Verse 1: Rick Davies]

Rudy's on a train to nowhere;

Halfway down the line

He don't wanna get there

But he needs time

He ain't sophisticated

Or well-educated

After all the hours he's wasted

Still he needs time

He needs time

He needs time for livin'

He needs time

For someone just to see him

He ain't had no lovin'

For no reason or rhyme

And the whole world's above him

Well, it's not as though he's fat

Nah, there's more to it than that

See he tried to play it cool;

Wouldn't be nobody's fool

Rudy thought

That all good things

Comes to those that wait

But recently

He could see

That it may come but too late

[Verse 2: Roger Hodgson & Rick Davies]

All through your life

All through the years

Nobody loved

Nobody cared

So dim the light

Dark are your fears

Try as I might

I can't hold back the tears

How can you live?

Without love, it's not fair

Someone said give

But I just didn't dare

What good advice

Are you waiting to hear?

Hearing's alright

For them that's all there

Hearing's alright

[Verse 3: Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson]

You'd better-

You'd better gain control now

You'd better show 'em all now

You'd better make or break now

You'd better give and take now

You'll have to push and shove now

You'll have to find some love now

You'd better gain control now

[Outro: Rick Davies]

Now he's just come out the movie

Numb of all the pain

Sad, but in a while he'll soon be

Back on his train
