Silver Platter Club Lyrics - Queen Of Denmark - John Grant

I wish that I could get up in the early morning time 

Things would fall out of the sky into my lap 

I wish I had the brain of a tyrannosaurus rex 

So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap 

I wish that I'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown 

While at the beach relaxing in the summer time 

I wish that I was good at football, baseball and lacrosse 

Darts and basketball, and poker, golf and chess 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become 

The man you think I should aspire to 

I wish I had the genes of Edwardo Verastegui 

That I was effortlessly masculine as well 

I wish that confidence was all you could see in my eyes 

Like those interviews in locker rooms with talented sports guys 

I wish I had no self-awareness like the guys I know 

Float right through their lives without a thought 

And that I didn't give a shit what anybody thought of me 

That I was so relaxed you'd think that I was bored 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become 

The man you think I should aspire to 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become 

The man you think I should aspire to 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become 

The man you think I should aspire to 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become 

The man you think I should aspire to 

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me 

On a silver platter, like they did to you 

(Was that my other one?)
