Paul Heaton Somebody's Superhero
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Metropolis had its quieter days
When everyone was behaving
Superman had his lonely times
When no-one needed saving
You can call Captain America
Call Wonder Woman too
Call up any one of them
And sure enough, on cue
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They'll fly through sky
They'll jump right off to sea
But no-one thought to call up
Good old me
[Chorus]
And the only thing that sees me
Through these blues
Is I was someone's superhero
I just don't know whose
Till then, my lack of powers
You must excuse
'Cause I'm somebody's superhero
I just don't know whose
[Verse 2]
Oh, I ain't got no outfit
To change into at night
No secret power do I hold
No weapon brought to fight
Batman had his Robin
Robin Hood his Merry Men
I got simply nobody
To help me up again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
One day, I'll dive right down on
Speeding train
One day, I'll find myself that
Lois Lane
[Chorus 2]
And the only thing that sees me
Through these blues
Is I'm someone's superhero
I just don't know whose
Till then, my lack of powers
You must excuse
'Cause I'm somebody's superhero
I just don't know whose
[Bridge]
Heroes and heroines
Untouchable, they are
Pull us free from wreckage
Rescue us from burning car
But not for me, returning heroes'
Cinematic kiss
'Cause I always aim to please
But actually miss
[Chorus 3]
I've no name-check
In the Daily Planet's news
I'm someone's superhero
Just don't know whose
With a fanfare played on
Paper-and-cone kazoo
I'm somebody's superhero
Just don't know who
Just don't know who
Just don't know who
Don't know whose
