Now they're planning the crime of the century

Well what will it be? Read all about their schemes and adventuring, yes it’s well worth the fee. So roll up and see how they rape the universe! How they’ve gone from bad to worse!  

Who are these men of lust, greed and glory? Rip off the masks, and let’s see!

But that’s not right, oh no, what’s the story? But there’s you, and there’s me.

That can’t be right

The Latin per means through, sonus sound. The actors in the early days of stage drama, their acting abilities were not that good so each character would wear a mask by which we would know their persona, literally the sound coming through the mask.

Rip off the mask and let’s see is then a metaphor for finding out who you really are. And yes we are all to blame.

A preference for "Even in The Quietest Moments" myself, and Fool's Overture, in particular.  

Love Hodgson.

Hello to you, @slaw.  

Hope you and yours are healthy and safe as this pandemic grinds on.

I don't buy too much new vinyl but in fact bought a good condition used Eye of the Storm LP   a while back.  Rick Davies had his moments but generally like better Hodgson's contributions to Supertramp as well as his solo stuff.
