Notes

This song was put on a Flexidisc for the 1981-09-11 issue of Flexipop magazine, and was reissued in 2018 as part of the 12" singles vinyl boxsets, sourced from the master tape. The Flexipop version is different from the album version, which was released later in 1981 as part of "Speak & Spell". On the Flexidisc, the song is titled Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead (the positions of the first two words are swapped).

Lyrics

I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

New sound all around

You can hear it too

Getting hot, never stop

Just for me and you

Playing on my radio and saying that you had to go

New day turn away

Wipe away the tear

New night, feel right

Knowing that you're here

Dancing with you all the time, and don't you think that it's a crime

Back street never meet

Never say goodbye

I know where you go

But I don't know why

You say that it's from above, and I say this is modern love
