Superman

by The Kinks

v.1
EmI woke up this mornin' and I started to sneeze
I Dhad a cigarette and a Emcup o' tea
EmI looked in the mirror what did I see
A D9-stone weakling with Emknobbly knees

I did my knees-bent, dress-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 before it made me depressed

Refrain:
CSurely there must Embe a way Dfor me to change the Emshape I'm in
CDissatisfied with Emwhat I am, DI wanna be a B7better man

Chorus:
EmSuperman, superman, Dwish I could fly like Emsuperman
EmSuperman, superman, DI wanna be like Emsuperman

v.2
Woke up this morning what did I see
A big black cloud hangin' over me
I switched on the radio an nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed

There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bed strike
Ya gotta be a superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
Such a wreck but I'm stayin' alive

v.3
Hey girl we gotta get outta this place
There's got to be somethin' better than this
I need you but I hate to see you this way
If I was superman I'd fly you away

Refrain:
I'd Creally like to Emchange the world and Dsave it from the Emmess it's in
CI'm too weak, EmI'm so thin, DI'd like to fly but I B7can't even swim
