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
