Superman Lyrics


You know, Snoopy, a little while back I had one of those
Corporal tunnel operations and the doctor told me
"I want you go home and shut up for 4 months"
Yeah, that's kinda tough, I said, "I'll try"
But while I was there, I wrote this song
Too many pain pills, too much pot
Trying to be something that I'm not
Superman, Superman
Trying to do more than I can
Got a little out of hand
I ain't Superman
Know what I'm talkin' about?
I blew my throat and I blew my tour
I wound up sippin' on soup d'jour
I wasn't Superman, oh no, I wasn't Superman
I'm tryin' to do more than I can
I got a little out of hand
I wasn't Superman

I hear you, Nikky, play one
Yeah, play that, Nikky, go 'head
Play it well
Go ahead, Willie
Well, the doctor said, "Son, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't Clark Kent and I ain't Lois Lane
You ain't Superman, you ain't Superman"
"Trying to do more than you can
And got a little out of hand"
You ain't Superman
What do you think, Snoop?
Well, when I die, put it on my stone
God said, "Snoopy, take your bad ass home
You wasn't Superman", no, I wasn't Superman
I'm tryin' to do more than I can
It got a little out of hand
I wasn't Superman
I hear you
Tryin' to do more than I can
It got a little out of hand
I ain't Superman
Yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Cigarettes were one of those late 70's / early 80's combos that are impossible to pigeon-hole - which is great!! Were they Punk? Well, a bit too smart really. Were they Mod? The image may have been but the music was harder, more powerful. Were they Power-Pop? Once again, all the ingredients were there but the pure power and inventiveness of some of the songs meant that they could not fit in the Power-Pop catchy two minute song bracket. So, sod the stereotyping.
