If I Could Sing Like Brandon Flowers

If I could sing like Brandon Flowers man, I'd sing for hours and hours
I'd sing about worry, I'd sing about want
Hell, I'd sing my orders to the waitress at the restaurant
I'd sing 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Norwegian Wouldn't'
I'd sing in places where they told me I couldn't
If I could sing like Brandon Flowers, man, it'd be like having super powers.

I'd hit all those high notes I always missed before
And get all those pretty girls on the dance floor
Dancing w/their daddies but looking at me
'cause I just nailed an F sharp above High C
If I could sing like Brandon Flowers what a great life this would be.

If I could sing like Brandon Flowers I'd sing a love song just for you
'cause I love you w/all my heart, now baby
It's just what you make me do

And should we meet again in love land
As I dearly hope we will
I will sing it like Brandon Flowers, baby and and time itself
Would just stand still
And I'll cast my eyes cross that dancefloor, darlin'
And there you"ll be
Dancing alone and looking at me.
Yeah smiling at me
If I could sing like Brandon Flowers, what
A great life this would be

(from the CD "Boy Genius Alert")
