(Poole/Martin/Poole) 
I wish I were you 
I wish I could wear your shoes 
Wish I could think from your brain 
I wish I were you 
Yes I do I wish 
I were you 
In seventies attire 
You know the whole planet 
And the whole planet knows you back 
You flaunt your imperfections 
You carry it off with a wave of confidence 
The hair flicks 
The aura spits 
Out something sparkly 
All this reflects a 
Deliriously happy individual 
Makes me sick to my stomach 
Well I'm jealous 
So quote me on that 
I've got a temper 
You're laid back 
Do you feel safe with a woman who 
Doesn't even know her politics 
From her poloneck? 
And you go with the flow 
It fits you perfectly 
As you make love on another 
Lip-shaped settee 
You're as cool as can be 
Strange soul you are 
I stand in wonder 
You make your own rules 
And use your own devices 
You lay back 
Easy to do 
And I wish 
I were you
