Someone else on another site said it was about the two main songwriters not getting on. Casual Conversations was written by Rick Davies about this and this was Roger Hodgson's reply. Not sure if it's true but it sounds plausible. If so it's more literal than most Supertramp songs - Roger sings 'how can you live in this way' and Rick replies 'why do you think it's so strange?' and they both sing ' There must be more to this life, It's time we did something right'.
