(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman

I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
Had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I did my knees, bend press ups, touch my toes
There�s got to be something better than this
I�m such a wreck but I�m staying alive
I want to be like superman

I�m too weak, I�m so thin

Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman

Woke up this morning, what did I see
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed

Hey girl, we�ve got to get out of this place
And save it from the mess it�s in
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Dissatisfied, is what I am

A big black cloud hanging over me
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I�d like to fly but I can�t even swim
I looked in the mirror, at my pigeon chest
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Got to be a superman to survive

Superman, superman, I want to be like superman
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Superman, superman, want to be like superman
For me to change the shape I�m in

I need you but I hate to see you this way
Surely there must be a way
Want to be a better man
And if I were superman then we�d fly away
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
Superman, superman, I want to fly like superman
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed

Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
I�d really like to change the world
I looked in the mirror, what did I see
