Supertramp - Land Ho (Original Single Mix)

Original single mix remastered from the original A&M single (AMS 7101).

This version is markedly different from the 1975 mix featured in the Retrospectacle anthology: the mix is cleaner and Rick Davies' vocals can be heard more clearly. But above all, the lyrics are very different from the versions we know, whether officially released or by Roger Hodgson in 1987 on his Hai Hai album.

Digitized by Frédéric Ménétrier and remastered by Matthack.

This remaster is offered free of charge and always will be. However, if you wish to support me financially, I accept donations!

Lyrics:
Dream of nothing to do
Dream of nothing to say
Dream I got something to dream about
Something that will make it okay

I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, I need some wind to help me to my goal
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh, I got to find an anchor for my soul

I need someone to meet
I want something to play
I need someone to feel about
Someone that will make it okay

I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, I want to see, I want to see a light
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh, I want to dream, I'll dream it if I like

When you're alone, there's not a sail in sight
I'm a captain now, but there's no one here to see me through the night

There once was a lady made me feel alright
But she couldn't say "What a lovely day"
So she sailed away and left me with my fight

Maybe I'll always be sad
And maybe there'll always be strife
Drifting alone with a saddened tone
Afloat in the ocean of life

I said, land ho, will I be sailing forever?
Oh, I need some wind to help me to my goal
Land ho, will I be dreaming forever?
Oh, I gotta find an anchor for my soul

Will I be sailing forever?
Will I be dreaming forever?
Will I be sailing forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever...
