Analysis of Roger Hodgson
That white suit
And Medieval hair
Puckish musician and host.
Very large auditorium
With dazzling lights
On cue.
Starts out bold keyboard.
Agile bending harmonica.
Rooster clucking organ
And keyboard man smiling delights.
Lead guitar guiding melody,
Bassist just plain there.
Soprano sax reiterates.
Take the long way home.
Take the long way home.
And fans facing
Singing every word.
Most of them standing.
Really, quite the event.
