Kinks - Superman lyrics

Woke up this morning, started to sneeze<br>I had a cigarette and a cup of tea<br>I looked in the mirror what did I see<br>A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees<br>I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes<br>I had another sneeze and I blew my nose<br>I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest<br>I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed<br>Surely there must be a way<br>For me to change the shape I'm in<br>Dissatisfied is what I am<br>I want to be a better man<br><br>Superman superman wish I could fly like superman<br>Superman superman I want to be like superman<br>I want to be like superman<br>Superman superman wish I could fly like superman<br><br>Woke up this morning, what did I see<br>A big black cloud hanging over me<br>I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead<br>The news was so bad that I fell out of bed<br>There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike<br>Got to be a superman to survive<br>Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills<br>I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive<br><br>[look in the paper, what do I see,<br>Robbery, violence, insanity.]<br><br>Hey girl we've got to get out of this place<br>There's got to be something better than this<br>I need you, but I hate to see you this way<br>If I were superman then we'd fly away<br>I'd really like to change the world<br>And save it from the mess it's in<br>I'm too weak, I'm so thin<br>I'd like to fly but I can't even swim<br><br>Superman superman I want to fly like superman<br>Superman superman wish I could fly like superman<br>Superman superman wish I could fly like superman<br>Superman superman I want to be like superman<br>Superman superman I want to fly like superman
