[00:16.45]Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
[00:20.19]I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
[00:23.77]I looked in the mirror what did I see
[00:27.77]A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
[00:31.19]I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
[00:35.59]I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
[00:39.41]I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
[00:42.95]I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
[00:47.30]Surely there must be a way
[00:51.12]For me to change the shape I'm in
[00:55.14]Dissatisfied is what I am
[00:59.51]I want to be a better man
[01:05.14][01:28.26][03:03.14]Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
[01:12.70][03:10.94]Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
[01:25.27]I want to be like Superman
[01:43.91]Woke up this morning, what did I see
[01:47.75]A big black cloud hanging over me
[01:51.26]I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
[01:55.37]The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
[01:58.68]There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
[02:03.18]Got to be a Superman to survive
[02:06.94]Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
[02:10.80]I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive
[02:14.93]Hey girl we've got to get out of this place
[02:19.04]There's got to be something better than this
[02:22.42]I need you, but I hate to see you this way
[02:26.17]If I were Superman then we'd fly away
[02:30.08]I'd really like to change the world
[02:33.88]And save it from the mess it's in
[02:37.92]I'm too weak, I'm so thin
[02:42.15]I'd like to fly but I can't even swim
