Real World

(Matchbox 20)


I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker

I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain

I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone

and you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm done


I wonder what it's like to be a super hero

I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown

From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun

And boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned


(chorus)

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart

Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

and you and you and me


I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho

I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said

I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some

Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone


Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart

Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me


Please don't change,

Please don't break...the only thing that seems to work at all is you

Please don't change, at all from me to you, and you to me


Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here

If I were someone else, would this all fall apart

Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

and you and me



I AM SUPERMAN

(REM)


I am

I am Superman

And I know what's happening

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


Cuz I am

I am Superman

And I know what's happening

I am

I am Superman

And I can do anything



WHAT'S NEXT TO THE MOON

(AC DC)

Well I tied my baby to the railroad track

Cannonball down the line

Giving that woman just a one more chance

To give it to me one more time

Engineer wishing he was home in bed

Dreaming about Casey Jones

Wide-eyed woman heading a mile ahead

[...woman half a mile ahead]

Thinking about broken bones


CHORUS:

It's her love that I want

It's her love that I need

It's her love got to have

It's her love


Heavenly body flying across the sky

Superman was out of town

Come on honey, gotta change your tune

Cause it's a long way down

Clark Kent looking for a free ride

Thinking about Lois Lane

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's - a suicide

And that'd be a shame


(chorus again)


But what's next to the moon?



Superman's Song

(Crash Dummies)


Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man

He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm

Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle

But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent

He would not be caught sittin' around in no

Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

Superman never made any money

For saving the world from Solomon Grundy

Sometimes I despair the world will never see

Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job

Even though he could have smashed through any bank

In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not

Folks said his family were all dead

Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself

To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes

But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes

I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back

On man, join Tarzan in the forest

But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes

In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through

And nothing to do but go on home.



3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind

I left my body laying somewhere in the sands of time

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon

I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon

After all I knew it had to be something to do with you

I really don't mind what happens now and then

as long as you'll my friend at the end

cho

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman

If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

KRYPTONITE!

You call me strong, you call me weak

But still your secrets I will keep

You took for granted all the times I never let you down

You stumbled in and bumped your head,

If not for me then you would be dead

I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman

If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

KRYPTONITE!

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman

If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

KRYPTONITE!

YEAH!



Superman

(Five For Fighting)


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 conceed

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

It's not easy to be me.



Superman Inside

(Eric Clapton)


Living, loving, ain't going to waste my life.

Singing music, someday the sun don't shine.

I don't want to be the one,

The one that can never say,

"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."

Give it all up, surrender thankfully.

Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.

I don't want to be the one,

The one that can never say,

"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."

(cho)

Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.

Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.

Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.

Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.

Superman... Superman inside.


No more running, ain't going to hide away.

I'm standing outside in the pouring rain.

'cause I don't want to be the one,

The one that can never say,

"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."


Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.

Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.

Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.

Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.

Superman... Superman inside.

Superman... Superman inside.

(repeat cho)



Scrubs "Superman" Soundtrack

(Laslo Bane)

Out the door

Just in time

Head down the 405

Gotta meet the new boss by 8 am

The phone rings in the car

The wife is workin hard

She runnin late tonight again

Well I know what I’ve been told

U gotta work to feed the soul

But I can’t do this all on my own

No I know

I’m no superman

I’m no superman

2. And you've got your love online

U think you're doin fine

But you’re just plugged into the wall

And that deck of tarot cards

Won’t get u very far

There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well I know what I've been told

U gotta know just when to fold,

But I can’t do this all on my own

No I know

I’m no superman

I’m no superman

3. You’ve crossed the finish line

Won the race but lost your mind

Was it worth it after all?

I need u here with me

Cause love is all we need,

Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I’ve been told

Gotta break free to break the mold

But I can’t do this all on my own

No I can’t do this all on my own

No I know

That I'm no Superman

I’m no superman

I’m no superman

(Some day well be together)

I’m no superman

(Some day)

(Someday well be together)

(Someday)



And from the 70's...

Superman

(Donna Fargo)

Superman, Superman, Superman

And there you go pickin on me again

Pushin me to the very end

Tellin me to move another mountain

Well just cause you can walk on water

that ain't no sign I can

You know your mama should have named you Superman

Superman, Superman, Superman

CHORUS:

Now lets go through this one more time

You do your thing and I'll do mine

Well honey baby we got to draw the line

Cause your hangup is a messin with mine

All I can do is the best I can to change the way

that you can't stand

And if it ain't good enough for superman

He ain't good enough for me...

Superman, Superman, Superman

2. So you don't have to rub it in

Just cause your right and I'm wrong again

Sometimes right is just as wrong as wrong is

And I ain't never gonna learn to make it rain

and I wouldn't if I could for all the wool in Spain

So you go right ahead and do it, do it Superman

Superman, Superman, Superman

Repeat Chorus:
