(Right, let’s get the whole thing cooking)

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose face
Making it hard it’s easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace

I try to walk down a city-street
I say hello to the people I meet
They’re walking their way and thinking I’m crazy
But I have so much trouble just to keeping the beat

Well my way of life is simple
‘Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessing
Well it worn’t to laugh at me

Maybe I’m just a country boy
Hinging life bringing no joy
Well it’s bringing me down, it’s making me lonely
You see I’m fooling with a life and it ain’t no toy

Well my way of life is simple
‘Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries

Here she comes
Here she comes

The lyrics to Aries are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Supertramp used when the song was created in 1971. The lyrics to Aries have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Supertramp and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Aries by Supertramp. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Aries" means the words set to the music of Aries, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Supertramp. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Aries and the lyrics to Aries are both one and the same thing.
