(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 novelty's

I did my knees and pray dress ups touched 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

To satisfy is what I am

I wanna be a better man

Superman superman

Wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman

I wanna be like superman

I wanna be like superman

Superman superman

Oh wish I could fly like superman

Woke up this morning what did I say

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 a bread strike

Gotta 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 gotta get out of this place

There's gotta be something better than this

I need you but I hate to see you this way

If I were a simple man then I'd fly you 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 like to fly but I can't even swim

Oh superman superman

I wanna fly like superman

Superman superman

Wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman

Wish I could fly like superman

Superman superman

I wanna be like superman

Superman superman

I wanna fly like superman
