(wish I Could Fly Like) Superman lyrics

Song : (wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
 
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze

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

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 I'm in

Dissatisfied, is what I am

Want to be a better man



Superman, superman, wish I could fly like
superman

Superman, superman, 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

I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive



Hey girl, we've got to get out of this place

There's got to be something better than this

I need you but I hate to see you this way

And if I were superman then we'd fly away



I'd really like to change the world

And save it from the mess it's in

I'm too weak, I'm so thin

I'd like to fly but I can't 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
