KINKS - (WISH I COULD FLY LIKE) SUPERMAN Lyrics

Woke up this morning, started to sneezeI had a cigarette and a cup of teaI looked in the mirror what did I seeA nine stone weakling with knobbly kneesI did my knees bend press ups touch my toesI had another sneeze and I blew my noseI looked in the mirror at my pigeon chestI had to put on my clothes because it made me depressedSurely there must be a wayFor me to change the shape I'm inDissatisfied is what I amI want to be a better manSuperman Superman wish I could fly like SupermanSuperman Superman I want to be like SupermanI want to be like SupermanSuperman Superman wish I could fly like SupermanWoke up this morning, what did I seeA big black cloud hanging over meI switched on the radio and nearly dropped deadThe news was so bad that I fell out of bedThere was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strikeGot to be a Superman to surviveGas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone billsI'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive[Look in the paper, what do I see,Robbery, violence, insanity.]Hey girl we've got to get out of this placeThere's got to be something better than thisI need you, but I hate to see you this wayIf I were Superman then we'd fly awayI'd really like to change the worldAnd save it from the mess it's inI'm too weak, I'm so thinI'd like to fly but I can't even swimSuperman Superman I want to fly like SupermanSuperman Superman wish I could fly like SupermanSuperman Superman wish I could fly like SupermanSuperman Superman I want to be like SupermanSuperman Superman I want to fly like Superman
