Kinks - (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman [Live] lyrics

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
