Quoted from The Very Best of Supertramp, the little booklet that hangs in the front.
Everyong thinks that the song "Breakfast in America" came from the band's experiences of living in America. When i actuality, it was one of the band's oldest songs. Roger wrote it when he was 18. "Actually, when I wote it, I hadn't been to America," informs Roger.
Now, I don't know if you can really say Roger was high at 18 when he wrote the song, but I guess that's open to interpretation.
I like what I've heard so far.
I think of this as "I'm not really knocked out by my girlfriend, but hey, it's about all there really is"
About the following comment:
They must eat like kings 'cos they're all millionaires.
I'd think of it as the other way around.
They must be millionaires to afford such a king-like eating habbit. If you weren't born in America and come over, your first impression is normally "Everyone's so fat"

High at 18? Yea I guarantee you he was smoking pot earlier than that. It's not crack.
