John Grant - Silver Platter Club lyrics
[John Grant - Silver Platter Club lyrics]
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 Eduardo Verástegui
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
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
On a silver platter, like they did to you
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
The man you think I should aspire to
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
On a silver platter, like they did to you
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
The man you think I should aspire to
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
On a silver platter, like they did to you
(Was that my other one?)
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 Eduardo Verástegui
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

And that I didn't give a shit

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
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
On a silver platter, like they did to you
(I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry)
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become
