Some Fantastic — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

One day, I will build a fountain - drink and never grow old
Then I`ll market an elixir that will eliminate the common cold
Find your sickness on my list, pay up-front and make a wish
One day I will work with animals, All the tests I`m gonna do
All my stuff`s completely natural, and when we`re done we`ll boil `em
down for glue
we can use to re-adhere your lips to mine if you were here
Chorus:
There`s a lot I will never do
Some fantastic, I know it`s true
But not as much as my want to be with you
I can`t stand to be in line long, so I built a new machine
It just measures up the distance, and then eliminates the folks
between
One day I`ll construct a satellite, and I`ll name it after you
`Cause you are the greatest friend of all, except for when you split
my lip
in two
To see the look upon your face as I launch you into space
(Chorus)
Bye bye, self-respect
I haven`t had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
Some day I will find the secret to your social chemistry
Then I`ll print it on a T-shirt, and it`ll make you wanna be with me
And if I wear it past your work, you`ll see other guys are jerks
Much like pheremones for flies, you will not avoid my eyes
(Chorus)
Bye bye, self-respect
I haven`t had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you
(x2)
Bye bye (repeated)
