Matthew Ebel - I Wish I Were

I wish I were Jean-Luc Picard,
I don’t think it would be that hard
to sip Earl Grey and save the day
while boldly going through the stars.
Or maybe I’d be Captain Mal,
a shining six-gun as my pal.
Sexy, broke, and full of jokes
even as things have gone to hell, oh…

I wish I were a starship captain.
I wish I were.

I wish that I could be James Bond
with dry martinis, cars, and blondes,
a PPK and sharp things to say
when I’m about to get it on.
Or Harry Potter I could be,
the king of spells and sorcery.
I’d have no equals
and my sequels would become and industry, yeah…

I wish I were a British icon.
I wish I were.

(Instrumental)
I wish that I were Doctor Jones,
but I don’t think I’ve got the stones
to find the grail and I think I’d fail
at turning Nazis into bones.
As Han Solo I could be
the baddest in the galaxy
and I shot first, for what it’s worth,
’cause I’m a scoundrel, yeah that’s me, oh oh…

I wish I were anything Harrison Ford’s ever been.
I wish I were.

Doo doo doo (Frodo Baggins)
Doo doo doo (Scott Pilgrim)
Doo doo doo (Clark Kent)
Doo doo doo (Wayne Campbell)
Doo doo doo (Buzz Lightyear)
Doo doo doo (Darth Vader)
Doo doo doo (Zaphod Beeblebrox)
Doo doo doo (Mufasa)

Well I wish I were anyone but me.
I wish I were someone you’d be glad to see.
I wish I were all your fantasies come true…
I wish I were with you.
