An example of music, song, and lyric writing that applies to virtually all areas of life, particularly with "departures", from our constraints, the people we meet, and ultimately our time here, to the next adventure.

David Lekich has written the lyrics of this song and he sings. Thanks to him!

Polly plays piano down at Miller’s Lake
An old folks home, they tap their feet to stay awake
She serves them homemade brownies every time she breaks
And someone aways wants for two
All the aides adore Miss Polly, ain’t she sweet
She plays her lullabies and sings old souls to sleep
She’s a killer

Jackie works from nine to five down at the docks
Listens to Mozart when he doesn’t wanna rock
Plays with kids on Sundays all around the block
Hey, don’t you know they think he’s cool
He’s got a laugh that makes you wonder how you cry
The neighbors think he’s such an ordinary guy
But he’s a killer

Billy’s just another bully’s little bitch
He’s scores the grades but bullies don’t think much of it
They keep on ragging him they’re gonna find real quick
Don’t take much to learn you’re schooled
He’s got a smile that makes them think he’ll acquiesce
But push that mile, they’ll understand what they don’t yet
He’s a killer

Supertramp are a progressive rock British band established in 1969 by co-founders Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies.  Hodgson, writer and composer of the great majority of the band’s greatest hits, has the distinctive voice that people think of when they reminisce about the band.    Many people are not aware that although Hodgson and Davies shared writing credit, they actually wrote and composed separately with each singing their own songs.

The 1974 album release, Crime of the Century, contained Hodgson’s song Dreamer, which was the band’s first commercial hit.   The next album, 1977’s Even in the Quietest Moments, saw Hodgson’s Give a Little Bit win international acclaim.  In 1979, the band released their most commercially successful album, Breakfast in America, which went on to sell over 20 million copies.  Hodgson’s title track, Breakfast in America, plus The Logical Song, and Take the Long Way Home, along with Davies’ Goodbye Stranger were the standout singles from this album with the tracks still being played on the radio today. 
 
Hodgson left the band in 1983 to raise his small children and pursue his spiritual beliefs.  Davies continued recording under the name Supertramp.  However, the band did not reach the level of commercial success they had attained when Hodgson was with them. 
  
Hodgson tours extensively worldwide every year and performs solo, with band, and with orchestra.   After not touring for eight years, Davies toured as Supertramp in 2011.
