作词 : Ray Davies
I wish I could fly like superman
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 knobbly 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 before 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

I want to fly like Superman
Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I turned on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was an oil strike, gas strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, rice bills, phone bills
I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive
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 want to fly but I can't even swim

Superman Superman I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
Woke up this morning, what do I see
Robbery, violence, insanity
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
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman!
