Wish I Were You - Jim Guthrie

Throw it out

It’s lost its shape

In need of repair

No time for escape

But leave no doubt

There’s a light to be seen

It’s coming over the hill

Somebody screamed

We never knew

And we still don’t

Is it true?

Wish I were you

Somebody screamed, ‘I wish I were you'

So hear me out

Don’t mean to sound cute

But sometimes yer drunk boy

And sometimes you puke

But leave no doubt

There’s a light to be seen

It’s coming over the hill

Somebody screamed

We never knew

And we still don’t

Is it true?

Wish I were you

Somebody scream, ‘I wish I were you'

If we do nothing

There’s nothing left to do

Wish I were you

Somebody scream

«I wish I were you»

Somebody scream

‘In my time of lying'

You’re talking to a ghost

The ghosts are all around

They’re everywhere you look

The ghosts they write the book

Somebody screamed

You’re talking to a ghost

Who says ‘I wish I were you

Cause then I’d get back

To the land of living

And fix all this crazy shit'
