Interpret:
Kinks, The

Low budget
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 knobbly 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


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 
Ohh!


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, a 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 


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
Ohh!


Superman, Superman
Wish I could be like Superman 
Superman, Superman
I want to fly like Superman


Superman, Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman 
Superman, Superman
Wish I could hang out with Superman


Look in the paper, 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
Ohhh!


Superman, Superman
I want to be like Superman


Superman, Superman
Wish I could fly around with Superman 
Superman, Superman
I want to be like Superman 


Superman, Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman 
Superman, Superman
I want to be like Superman


Superman, Superman
Wish I could play like Superman 
Superman, Superman
I want to be like Superman 


Superman, Superman
Wish I could be like Superman 
Superman, Superman
I want to be be like Superman


Superman, Superman
I want to fly like Superman
