I Wish I Was Him Lyrics - Ben Lee

[originally by Noise Addict] 

[Version 1] 

It may sound stupid when I say it out loud 

Like I'm just jealous of his silver cloud 

He looks real good he drinks diet Coke 

He gets his NME's sent by air not boat 

I wish I was him 

He gets the women at his feet 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

I wish I was him 

He's got six different flannel shirts 

Airwalks not thongs 

He even understands the words to Pavement songs 

He's got his new guitar toys 

He loves Smudge and the Beastie Boys 

*I wish I was him 

He gets the girls at his feet 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

I wish I was him 

I feel much better now I've let it all out 

He's got big biceps and a masculine shout 

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to be mean 

But he plays guitar much faster than me 

*Repeat 

I wish I was him 

He gets the girls at his feet 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

I wish I was him 

[Version 2] 

Well, it may sound stupid when I say it out loud 

Like I'm just jealous of his silver cloud 

He's crazy as hell, he drinks diet Coke 

He gets his NME's sent by air not boat 

I wish I was him 

He gets the girls at his feet 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

I wish I was him 

Well, he's got six different flannel shirts 

Airwalks not thongs 

He even understands the words to Pavement songs 

He's got his little fan club and his guitar toys 

He loves Smudge and the Beastie Boys 

*I wish I was him 

He gets the girls at his feet 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

I wish I was him 

Well, I feel much better now I've let it all out 

'Cause he's got big biceps and a masculine shout 

I don't want to sound like I'm being mean 

But he plays guitar much faster than me 

*Repeat 

[Spoken: 

Y'know he even knows the guys from Dinosaur Jr. 

And he played on the first Blake Babies Album, how awesome 

And you know that black stripey shirt he's got? 

Well, I've got the same one, except it's red, but it's the same, y'know 

what I mean] 

I wish I was him 

He gets the girls at his feet 

With all his cool friends 

He gets his records for free 

I wish I was him 

He has no enemies 

I wish I was him 

I wish I was him
