(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman Lyrics


Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror, what did I see?
A nine stone weakling with knobly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I 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
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man
Superman superman, wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman, I want to be like superman
I want to be like superman
Superman superman, wish I could fly like superman

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, bread strike
Got to 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 got to get out of this place
There's got to 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
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
Superman superman, I want to fly like superman
Superman superman, wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman, wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman, I want to be like superman
Superman superman, I want to fly like superman

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Kinks (1963–1996) were an English pop group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s.

Formed in 1963 in Muswell Hill, North London, they first gained prominence on the heels of the well-received and highly influential single "You Really Got Me" (1964). The group originally consisted of lead singer/guitarist Ray Davies, his brother lead guitarist Dave Davies, drummer Mick Avory, and bassist Peter Quaife. Quaife left (twice) in the late 1960s, and Avory finally left in 1984 as the result of a long-running dispute with Dave Davies, leaving only the Davies brothers as the core of the original group.

With Ray's songwriting skills and unashamedly English voices, Dave's impressive guitar work, and Avory's tight and steady drumming, the band became one of the best and most influential groups of British pop and the "british invasion" of the U.S.A., lasting longer than any of their competitors, apart from The Rolling Stones, as they broke up in 1996. Their catalogue of songs has been covered by Van Halen, The Pretenders, The Black Keys, The Stranglers,Queens of the Stone Age , and many more.
