Lyrics Wish I Were You - Jim Guthrie

Wish I Were You

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'
