about

Originally performed by The Sedatives, this version was recorded by David Banks and David Ian Jones, who perform as "Me and Mr Jones"

lyrics

I want to go to San Francisco in '68, with my hair all full of flowers.
I want to break the news about Watergate, I want to shoot down Gary Powers.
I want to see The Smiths play their first concert date and stuff daffodils down my trousers.
I want....
I want....
I want to be a folk-rock star. I want to be a boffin.
I want to be an egomaniac. I want something for nothing.
I want to smoke dope and get high on E,
but I think I'll just stay in and watch some TV.

I want to drink the finest whiskey & the roughest potcheen & to visit all the joints in Soho.
I want to dress up in frocks, be a bit of a queen; I'd like to do some stuff with my mojo.
I want to be absurd and I want to be obscene, I want to rock the earth down to the Moho.
I want to try out a bit of S & M - beat me and I'll grovel.
but I think I'll stay in by the fire and read a nice detective novel.

I want to cover my guitar in lighter fuel and send the feedback screaming.
I want to find and break the golden rule, I want to live for sense and feeling.
I want to do Morris dancing, look like a fool and send Northumberland reeling.
I want to shoot myself up with some snowy white,
but I think I'll just stay in and have an early night.

I want to go to Irkutsk on a Russian train on the trans-Siberian railroad.
I want to do good works and become a saint; canonised and be-haloed.
I want to throw a wobbler, want to go insane, have two crates short of a payload.
I want to ride a black Vincent opened up at full throttle,
but I think I'll go to bed with a nice hot water bottle.
