Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I been dreamin' of gettin' along
Now I'm awake, dreamin' keep it on keeping on
I catch a break, then a punch to the head
I smile big with a toothless grin, yeah
Supersonic gone and took my soul
Supersonic, truth be told
I don't need you to live, but I'll never let you go
Yeah
Yeah I been thinkin', I already know
Nothin' 'bout nothin' or so I have been told, yeah
I'm not the paper, I'm more like the fold

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but
How much do you want it
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you
In your BMW
You can sail with me
In my yellow submarine
You need to find out
'Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you wanna say
But before tomorrow
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
Sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call
You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane
On a supersonic train
And she makes me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor
On a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue
When she finds out
No one's gonna tell her what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you wanna say
But before tomorrow
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
Sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call

this song is so badass, my tea turned into gin n tonic
@paullangton-rogers2390
It's strange they used gin n tonic I guess only because it rhymed that's not a drink I can imagine these guys drinking in a million years..it's considered an upper class drink.
