Somebody’s Superhero Songtext
von Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott

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

They′ll fly through sky
They'll jump right out of the sea
But no one thought to call up
Good old me

And the only thing that sees me
Through these blues
Is I′m someone's superhero
Just don't know whose


′Til then, my lack of powers
You must excuse
′Cause I'm somebody′s superhero
Just don't know whose

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

One day, I'll dive right down on
Speeding train
One day, I′ll find myself that
Lois Lane

And the only thing that sees me
Through these blues
Is I'm someone's superhero
Just don′t know whose


′Til then, my lack of powers
You must excuse
'Cause I′m somebody's superhero
Just don′t know whose

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

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 comb 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
