Kinks - (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman Lyrics

Kinks
Superman
(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror, what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed

Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape IÕm in
Dissatisfied with what I am
I want to be a better man

Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman

Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
IÕm such a wreck but IÕm staying alive
Hey girl weÕve got to get out of this place
ThereÕs got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were Superman then IÕd fly you away

IÕd really like to change the world
And save it from the mess itÕs in
IÕm too weak, IÕm so thin
IÕd like to fly but I canÕt even swim

Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
