the kinks - (wish i could fly like) superman (2025 remaster) lyrics

[verse 1]
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 kn+bbly 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

[pre+chorus]
surely there must be a way
for me to change the shape i’m in
dissatisfied is what i am
i wanna be a better man

[chorus]
superman, superman
wish i could fly like superman
superman, superman
i wanna be like superman
i wanna be like superman
superman, superman
wish i could fly like superman

[verse 2]
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, 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’ve 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 superman then we’d fly away
[pre+chorus]
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

[chorus]
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
