Barenaked Ladies - Some Fantastic lyrics

Words & music by steven page & ed robertson<br><br>One day I will build a fountain<br>Drink and never grow old<br>Then I'll market an elixir<br>That will eliminate the common cold<br>Find your sickness on my list<br>Pay up front and make a wish<br><br>One day I will work with animals<br>All the tests I'm gonna do<br>All my stuff's completely natural<br>And when we're done we'll boil 'em<br>Down for glue<br>That we can use to re-adhere<br>Your lips to mine if you were here<br><br>There's a lot I will never do<br>Some fantastic, I know it's true<br>But none as much as my want to be with you<br><br>I can't stand to wait in line long<br>So I built a new machine<br>It just measures up the distance<br>And then eliminates the folks between<br><br>One day I'll construct a satellite<br>And I'll name it after you<br>'cause you were the greatest friend of all<br>Except for when you split my lip in two<br>To see the look upon your face<br>As I launch you into space<br><br>There's a lot I will never do<br>Some fantastic, I know it's true<br>But none as much as my want to be with you<br><br>Bye-bye self-respect<br>I haven't had much of it since you left<br>I missed out on the best of you<br><br>Some day I will find the secret<br>To your social chemistry<br>Then I'll print it on a t-shirt<br>And it'll make you want to be with me<br>If I wear it past your work<br>You'll see other guys are jerks<br>Much like pheromones for flies<br>You will not avoid my eyes<br><br>There's a lot I will never do<br>Some fantastic, I know it's true<br>But none as much as my want to be with you<br><br>Bye-bye self-respect<br>I haven't had much of it since you left<br>I missed out on the best of you
