"Cannonball" was written and sung by keyboardist Rick Davies entirely in the chord of G minor. Davies stated in an interview "I did it simply to see if it could be done".

When “Cannonball” was released, the song’s lyrics (like “I’m washing my hands on you / How could you be so untrue”) were, contrary to belief, not about Roger Hodgson, but instead (according to a French radio interview) a “less than perfect” concert promoter Rick Davies wouldn’t name.

The track became Supertramp's last US Top 40 single to date, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard singles charts in July 1985. It also crossed over to the dance charts, peaking at number nine. On the B-side of the 12-inch release is a 10-minute instrumental version.

You're tellin' lies
So don't you criticize
Yeah, I got used
All messed up and abused
You let me down
With all your runnin' round
Still you pretend
And try to call me friend
Don't say a word
I know just what I heard
Yeah you've been loose
You just go no excuse
Just feel my rage
Why can't you come of age
I felt it all
Just like a cannonball
Then you got mad
You said that I'm all bad
So what's the use
You lied and that's the truth
You took the key
And drove right out on me
I never knew
Put all my trust in you
OK that's it
I'm leaving now, I quit
I was unwise
So don't apologize
I paid the price
For taking your advice
I felt it all
Just like a cannonball (Yeah, like a cannonball)
You can say what you want all day
But I've never been so outraged
I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue
You know I can't stand no more
You know I can't stand no more
I can't stand no more
Can't stand no more
No
