Supertramp
"Rudy"

(intro - music)

Rudy's on a train to nowhere,
Half-way down the line.
He don't wanna get there,
But he needs time.

He ain't sophisticated,
Or well educated.
Now count all the hours he's wasted,
Still he needs time...

He needs time!
He needs a time for living
He needs time
For someone just to see him

He ain't had no love yeah
For no reason nor rhyme
And the whole world's above him

Oh it's not as though he's fat
No, there's more to it than that
See he tried to play it cool
But he been about his fool

(guitar solo)

Rudy thought,
That all good things,
Comes to those that wait
But recently,
He could see
That it may come, but too late.. too late... too late

(music interval)

All through your life
All through the years
Nobody loves
Nobody cares
So see the light
Don't, count 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
I didn't dare
I didn't dare
What beautifies
Are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alright
You'd better, you'd better get control of
You'd better show 'em all now
You'd better take or break 'em
You'd better give 'em take 'em
You'll have to push and show them
You'll have to find some love now...
You'd better get control now

(music interval)
(sound interval - train station)

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
