Kinks - 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
