Another strange songfic challenge

The Logical Song

Sung by: Supertramp
Written by: Roger Hodgson

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical...

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal...
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable...

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

I think in terms of GW, since that's the fandom I participate in most. I can see this song fitting Treize, Zechs, Wufei and Quatre (think about it). But if you see the song fitting a character from another anime and want to take up the challenge, then have fun!

Hmm, I have a sense that this could also apply to Perfect Percy of the Ministry of Magic. Must think on this.

I actually like that as a song to fit with Shinji from Evangelion or She the Ultimate Weapon. I'll give it some thought... ^^"

Hee, well, in my fandoms... it kind of reminds me of Sanzo or especially Kougaiji from Saiyuki, and from WK it fits perfectly for Aya.

But don't expect the stories from me. ~_^

I actually had that song on my list of songs representing Heero, but now that I think about it, it does fit Treize or Zechs better.

(sorry for the late reply, I'm going through posts from when I was out of town.)
