John GrantAbout
Silver Platter Club is about Grant’s desire to be a perfect (masculine) person, whether that be him waking up in the morning, being able to tan easily, or being good at nearly every sport and activity. But, he’s also aware that he’s none of these things and he tells an unknown other that he’s sorry...
Silver Platter Club Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental section]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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?)
