Superman (It's Not Easy) - Five For Fighting

[source: sssok]

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me


Superman - Barbra Streisand

Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I've never felt the same
But I am not a bird and I am not a plane
I'm superman
When you love me it's easy
I can do almost anything
Watch me turn around, one wing up and one wing down
I never thought I could fall in love for good
I'm superman
When you love me it's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can do
When I'm with you
I'm superman
Cause I'm with you
It's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can do
Cause I'm with you
I'm superman

(A Godzilla doll, in Japanese: "This is a special news report. Godzilla has been sighted in Tokyo Bay. The attack on it by the self-defense force has been useless. He is heading towards the city. Aaaaggghh!")

I am I am I am Superman and I know what’s happening
I am I am I am Superman and I can do anything

You don’t really love that guy you make it with now do you
I know you don’t love that guy cause I can see right through you

If you go a million miles away I’ll track you down girl
Trust me when I say I know the pathway to your heart


Lois Lane - (written by Jez Ashurst, Arranged by Farrah)

She's really cool, mercurial
I feel week when she speaks, invisible
She's so beautiful
I'm such a fool for you.
She's dynamite, kryptonite, while she sleeps
The world it keeps 'til morning light
She's so beautiful, I'd save the world for you.
If you'll be my Lois Lane, I'll be your superman
If you'd only call my name, I'd be your superman.
If you'll be my Lois Lane, I'll be your superman.
She doesn't see the other me, with x-ray eyes
I fantasize of what could be
She's so beautiful, I'd stop the world for you.
If you'll be my Lois Lane, I'll be your superman
If you'd only call my name, I'd be your superman.
If you'll be my Lois Lane, I'll be your superman.
If you'd only call my name, I'd be your superman.
Fly away into the blue, there's nothing that we couldn't do
We could be the fantastic two.
If you'll be my Lois Lane, I'll be your superman
If you'd only call my name, I'd be your superman.
If you'd be my Lois Lane, I'd be your superman.
If you'd only call my name, I'd be your superman.


Parody of “Superlame” , words and music by Andras Jones

He must have some super charms,
I fell so fast into his arms.
But he’s fresh from his father’s farm
And journalism school.

I pursued him eagerly.
His stare could cut my heart in three,
While staying sharp enough to be
A pumpkin carving tool.

Chorus: And now I’m Super Lane.
Yes, I have given up my maiden name,
And now I’m Super Lane.
Whoa, whoa, but it’s my married name!
And that’s still Lois Lane
To you!

So, who are you to look at me?
We both know you’ve got to be
One percent as strong as he.
Have you got what it takes?

But then...!
Now and then, I have noticed that
His breath could knock a rhino flat.
The man sleeps lighter than a cat.
My pulse keeps him awake.

Chorus: Because I’m Super Lane.
And now I hardly know what I became
Now that I’m Super Lane.
Whoa, whoa, but that’s my married name,
And I’m still Lois Lane
To you.

And every night I have to plead To slow him down for what I need, Or he’ll undress at super speed. ’Cause habit’s hard to stop.

I just might like a different name,
Like “Mrs. Olsen,” just the same.
No mountain man, but much more tame,
And good to the last drop!

Chorus: But since I’m Super Lane,
We’ll let him supervise our secret shame.
Although I’m Super Lane,
Whoa, whoa, that’s just my married name.
I’ll still be Lois Lane—
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what’s the shame
In being Lois Lane—
For you.


Fastball - Firescape


[source: JudasAce]

Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes
'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on
I don't know my right from wrong
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus:
I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
And I may not be the man you want me to
I can be myself, how 'bout you?


I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna meet your dad
I don't wanna be your dream come true
'Cause I don't know just what I've found
I don't know my sky from ground
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you

Chorus

Repeat Chorus
I can be myself, how 'bout you?
I can be myself
How 'bout you?


LOIS LANE - by Holly Long

We started out as a very good plan
But in the end I barely had a leg to stand on
You wore the mask and cape and so you caught my eye
You promised we would fly
But all I do is cry
And wonder-

CHORUS
Where is Superman at the end of the day
How long do I wait for him anyway
When will this old crazy world turn sane
Who says I gotta be Lois Lane

Oh I know that it’s the earth we’re living on
Something tells me we are nowhere near Krypton
But I don’t want to look so far out into space
To see my hero’s face
No - I’d rather find a place right here

CHORUS
Where is Superman at the end of the day
If I found him would I turn around and run away?
Faster than bullets and more power than a train
But I know I am no Lois Lane- yeah

Hey -hey

Jimmy, Jimmy take a quick shot
Please won’t you show me what it is I’m not yet
Maybe I just need some mild-mannered guy
Oh who am I
Kidding

Where is Superman at the end of the day?
Maybe I’ll find my Clark Kent and run away
Where there’s a place without a phone booth for him to change
And I won’t have to be Lois Lane-

REPEAT FIRST CHORUS OUT


The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts - Sufjan Stevens

Trouble falls in my home
Troubled man, troubled stone
turn a mountain of lies
turn a card for my life
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something half ways

Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden eyes
Red and white, red and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair, part unknown
If I knew what I read
I'll send it half ways

Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

Took my bags, Illinois
Dreamt the lake took my boy
Man of Steel, Man of Heart
Turn your ear to my part
There are things you have said
Raise the boat, and raise the dead
If you take us away
Still can we say:

Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

I'm A Superman Thanks To Lois Lane
Kissed Away My Problems When I Went Insane
Fished Me From The Bottom When I Lost My Name
Gave Me Something I Could Live For (Something I Could Live For)
And Everybody Wonders What's The Change
They Don't Recognize Me Cause I Got So Much To Say
And I Never Thought That Anyone Could Love Someone
So Much That They Give Up On Everything

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Dance With
I'm Your Lover When The Skies Turn Grey
Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

Oh
Til Its Beautiful
Til Its Beau-Ooh Ooh Baby
Til Its Beautiful Baby

[Verse 2:]
I'm A Butterfly When I'm In Your Hands
You Can Turn The Pavement Into White Sand
You Can Make A Moment A Memory In A Glance
And I Cant Believe Anyone Else
And Everybody's Talking
But You Always Keep Shouting
You Never Stop Cursing Yea Babe
And I Never Thought That Anyone Could Love Someone
So Much That They Give Up On Everything

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With

[Verse 3:]
There's A Million People Underneath The Sun
That Can Find A Million More And Never Find The One
There's A Girl Who Did This And A Socialite
Was On Magazines And Was The Shy Type Baby
But I'm A Superman Thanks To Lois Lane
Kissed Away The Problems When I Went Insane
Fished Me From The Bottom When I Lost My Name
And I Never Thought Anyone Could Ever Mean So Much So Much

[Chorus:]
I Will Be There To Take Care Of You
I Will Be There When You Cry Babe
I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Tell You
That You're Beautiful Baby

I Will Be There When You Need Someone To Run With

Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

Til It's Beautiful

Your Superman Babe
Til It's Beautiful
Til It's Beautiful
Til Its Beautiful Baby

I just wanna vibe with you, you
Baby you and I can have a good time
Tell me what you like

[Spoken]
Now listen
I've been single for a while now
And I've been kind of lonely
But I'm looking for somebody to talk to,
Love me, someone who can hold me,
Is that you?

I'm looking for somebody I can call boo
Looking for the only one that I can give my all to
Tell me if it's you, you, you
What you wanna do, do, do

To spend my life with you

I promise that I will never lie to you boy
There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

You and me together
Picture perfect
I'll spend all my money all my time
Because you're worth it
It's just me and you, you, you
What you wanna do, do, do
Make a move
Call me mama, spoil you like a baby
Thinking about you, dreaming about you
Got me going crazy
What you wanna do, do, do

I open my heart

Open my heart

Tell the whole world that I'm in love with you
Whatever you want
Baby I'll do
I know I don't want nobody else but you

There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

Baby
I know you're hurting right now
Don't worry
I'll be your superman (no, no)

[Chorus]
I can love you like no one can
I can be your superman (superman)
just take my hand let's fly away
I promise I'll be there everyday
just close your eyes let's start to fly
I'm gonna love you until I die(till I die)
Until the day of my death to my very last breath
I'm gonna love you when no ones left

Come fly with me baby
Yeah I'm the one
With the S on my chest
Forget about your ex
He don't know what love is
He just failed the test
Plus he don't treat you right
He keeps you crying all night
See, hes like your kryptonite
I came to give you their strength
So you can leave him behind
You can start all over
Just press rewind
Cause he don't understand that you're one of a kind
So sweet, so sexy and just so fine
I will fight to my death just to make you mine
I will never neglect you
Never have time to stress you
And always respect you
Girl you like a hidden treasure
and I promise to love you
From now until forever
OOO para siempra mija
Te prometo Te voy amar
hasta la muerte

[Chorus]
I can love you like no one can
I can be your superman (superman)
just take my hand let's fly away
I promise I'll be there everyday
just close your eyes let's start to fly
I'm gonna love you until I die(till I die)
Until the day of my death to my very last breath
I'm gonna love you when no ones left

I'm the type of guy
That will stand by your side
To wipe them tears when they fall from your eyes
I'm the one you hold when your nights is cold
The one that stays near to fight away your fears
You aint gotta be scared
See I put an end to your ex
No more beating you up (nuh uh)
Or pulling on your hair
See I came to save the day
A man like that should'nt treat you that way
And I don't understand why'd you take that route?
Look at yourself
Your beautiful inside and out
You need to drop that zero (uhh)
Let me swoop you off your feet
Cause I can be your superhero
Do you follow my lead?
I guarantee you baby
I'm all that you need
See, you can change your plans
All you got to do is call on me and I can be your superman

[Girl:]
Will you be by my side for the rest of my life?
For the rest of my life
Will you love me till I die?

[Chorus]
I can love you like no one can
I can be your superman (superman)
just take my hand let's fly away
I promise I'll be there everyday
just close your eyes let's start to fly
I'm gonna love you until I die(till I die)
Until the day of my death to my very last breath
I'm gonna love you when no ones left

[Girl:]
No ones left
Till no ones left
Till no ones left
Gonna love you
Gonna love you
My superman
My superman


Where Are You Going? - Dave Matthews Band

Where are you going?
With your long face
Pulling down
Don't hide away
Like an ocean
That you can't see but you can smell
And the sound of the waves crash down

I am no Superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be

Where are you going?
Where do you go?

Are you looking for answers
To questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way
You are grown weary
You can rest with me until
A brighter day and you're okay

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be

Where are you going?
Where do you go?

Where do you go?
Where are you going?

Where do you go?

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is here you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be

Where are you going?
Where do you go?
Tell me, where are you going?
Where?
Well, let's go
