"Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got"
Lorsqu’il sort en 1979, le titre « Breakfast in America », tiré de l’album du même nom (le sixième du groupe), connaît un succès immédiat. Aujourd’hui, la paternité du morceau, crédité aux noms de Rick Davies et Roger Hodgson, co-fondateurs de Supertramp, est revendiquée par ce dernier.
« Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ’em in Texas
Cos everyone’s a millionaire
I’m a winner, I’m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I’m a loser, what a joker
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothing better to do
Don’t you look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I’m hoping it’s going to come true
But there’s not a lot I can do ».
