Wishing is the fifth track on Respect All Lifeforms, the seventh album by Custard. It is the first track written and sung by Paul Medew to be released since “Modern Age” in 1999.
The buzzing in my head says big, big trouble
Walking all around with an astronaut bubble
Hey spaceman, did you see that stock roll?
Check it out with your radio telescope
Sounds better there so it sounds like I better go
Don't know how 'cause I lost my gyroscope
Hey spaceman, here's your trajectory
Go straight up until you're next to me
I'm wishing my head wasn't so full
I'm wishing my feet weren't clay
I hope when I get there, it'll all go away
My feet on the ground and my head up so high
All the people down there, waving bye-bye
I can't go up, my feet are so heavy
I can't go down, my head won't let me
I'm wishing my head wasn't so full
I'm wishing my feet weren't clay
I hope when I get there, it'll all go away
Thinkin' out and thinkin' out and thinkin' I'm so high
Thinkin' 'bout you and the shining North Star
Thinkin' out and thinkin' but it just seems so far
I'm wishing my head wasn't so full
I'm wishing my feet weren't clay
I hope when I get there, it'll all go away
I'm wishing my head wasn't so full
I'm wishing my feet weren't clay
I know when I get there, it'll all go away
Wishing was written by Paul Medew.
