I Wish I Was A Girl [remastered]

from Wild and Wandering (2022 Remaster) by WASTED YOUTH

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Deluxe release on 140gm vinyl in a new and specially designed gatefold sleeve by Jeff Ellis.

    • Gatefold sleeve
    • Full-colour inner sleeve
    • Featuring original art print and complete set of lyrics
    • Individually numbered limited edition of 500
    • All new and unpublished contemporaneous photos
    • Remastered and repackaged in 2022 by Jeff Ellis
    • First record on WY Records (WYLP01)

    Remastered in October 2022, this will be the first time it’s been available on vinyl since 1981. We've decided there would be no ‘bonus’ material or remixing involved for this vinyl release, not only to bring you the best audio quality possible (the more tracks you have, the quieter and less distinctive the audio becomes), but to also preserve the authenticity and integrity of the original recordings.

    The new pressing is simply clearer, brighter and punchier than the original vinyl, and we're sure you'll notice the difference. There has been one change; we made a millisecond edit on ‘I Wish I Was A Girl’ to remove a misplaced drum beat that has irritated me ever since I first noticed it way back when.

    This release is strictly limited to 500 individually numbered copies and comes in a gatefold sleeve with a full-colour inner sleeve, featuring lyrics and full-colour unique artwork. Also featured are new sleeve notes and some contemporaneous unpublished photos by Virginia Turbett and Jeff Ellis, both closely associated with the band for over forty years ago.

    The catalogue number is WYLP01, and will be our first release on WY Records. The whole package will be shrink wrapped for good measure.

lyrics

I WISH I WAS A GIRL

I’m sneaking up to the bedroom
I’m not aware that I’m ‘wrong’
I’ve got this crazy feeling
It’s been sleeping too long
I’m strutting around the room
I’ve got my sister’s clothes and shoes
I think my libido has blown a fuse
I wished I was a girl
I’ve never kissed a girl, at all
I got this crazy, sexual, short circuit
And sometimes I don’t know if I can kick it
I’m lying on the floor
I’ve got my eye in the mirror
I can feel your hands coming closer
I wished I was a girl
I’ve never kissed a girl
It all seems just like some crazy dream
That never ends
I’m laying here, on the floor
Covered in make-up and cheap perfume
I wanna look like her, smell like her
Live like her, die like her, screw like her
Eat like her, I wanna be her
I wish I was a girl
