In 1994 Eitzel told ''Melody Maker'', "The video to 'Wish The World Away' cost a LOT of money. It's set on a ''Baywatch'' kinda beach, with all the beautiful people running around looking gorgeous. And we're standing under black umbrellas looking gloomy. We like it a lot. Our vision was realized."<ref name="MM-94">{{cite magazine \|last=Nicholls \|first=Phil \|date=September 3, 1994 \|title=I'm An Ant \|url=https://archivedmusicpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/caitlin-moran-interviews-american-music-club-3rd-september-1994.jpg \|magazine=Melody Maker \|location=London \|publisher=IPC Media \|access-date=January 16, 2018}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
I don't need anybody's love 
I couldn't afford it anyway 
With my penny's worth of hope 
That's not funny but it's a joke 
And I got a good one for the collection agency 
It's a wish 
That I could wish the world away 
I could wish the world away

Don't watch TV it's all lies 
I watch TV day and night 
I believe everything I see 
And I can't turn it off 
The only thing that kept me together in the good old days 
Was a wish 
You could wish the world away 
Yeah you could wish the world away 
You could wish the world away 
You could wish the world away

Where's the message in the bottle 
Where's the miracle in the pill 
Where's the nurse with that needle 
Where is all of my free will 
Count down backwards from ten and everything's okay 
You can wish 
You can wish 
You can wish the world away

I can wish
