Lyrics
I need to be myself
I need to be true to myself
I can't be no one else
I cannot pretend to be someone else
I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic
Feeling extremely energetic, requesting a drink (gin and tonic)
You can have it all, but how much do you want it?
While you can have everything, the question is how much do you desire it?
You make me laugh
You bring joy and amusement into my life
Give me your autograph
Give me your signature as a token of our connection
Can I ride with you in your BMW?
Asking if I can accompany you in your luxury car (BMW)
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
Suggesting that you can join me in my carefree and happy world (yellow submarine)
You need to find out
Encouraging the listener to explore and discover
'Cause no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
No one will explain my perspective to you
You need to find a way for what you wanna say
Find a way to express yourself
But before tomorrow
Act before it's too late, possibly indicating urgency
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
Referring to a friend offering to take someone home
He sits in a corner all alone
Describing a person sitting alone in a corner
He lives under a waterfall
Depicting someone living in isolation under a waterfall
Nobody can see him
Emphasizing the hidden nature of this person
Nobody can ever hear him call
Highlighting the silence surrounding this person
Nobody can ever hear him call
Reiterating the lack of communication with this person
You need to be yourself
Repeating the importance of being authentic
You can't be no one else
Reiterating the impossibility of pretending to be someone else
I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer
Introducing a character named Elsa with a peculiar interest
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
Describing Elsa's unconventional way of using Alka-Seltzer on a fast train
And she makes me laugh
Expressing amusement caused by Elsa's actions
I got her autograph
Confirming a personal connection with Elsa through an autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
Narrating Elsa's adventurous encounter with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin' in a tissue, sellin' the Big Issue
Depicting Elsa engaging in unconventional activities, like selling the Big Issue
When she finds out
Encouraging Elsa to explore and discover
No one's gonna tell her what I'm on about
Similar to line 11, emphasizing the uniqueness of Elsa's perspective
You need to find a way for what you wanna say
Encouraging Elsa to find a way to express herself
But before tomorrow
Reiterating the urgency to act promptly
'Cause my friend said he'd take you home
Repeating the scenario of a friend offering to take someone home
He sits in a corner all alone
Reiterating the image of someone sitting alone in a corner
He lives under a waterfall
Repeating the concept of living under a waterfall, symbolizing seclusion
Nobody can see him
Reiterating the idea of invisibility and silence surrounding this person
Nobody can ever hear him call
Emphasizing the lack of communication with this person, creating a sense of isolation
Nobody can ever hear him call
Reiterating the silence and isolation experienced by this person
