I wondered when this thread would kick off. I have two songs that always make me think of this pairing.
"Superhero" - Jane's Addiction
You were smiling by my table
Had to call up everyone that day
A beautiful mind and body
What a happy ending I see
My mind had been enabled
In a memory you overflowed
Want to be your superhero
Even if I tumble fall
I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately
Brick or stone cannot hurt me
Madmen around the city go
They attack I'll bring them down
Making their chances super low
Oh my my, pretty naval
Dimple cheek, a face I adore
Want to be your superhero
Fallin' from a running horse
I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately
I oh, I
Hold to that elusion
I, oh I
I'm not your average guy
Other guys they won't dare to
Join the line in order you peck
When they introduced me to you
My face had turned to super red
Your steady beck and call boy
Play'n on the piano
Want to be your superhero
Not afraid to tumble fall
I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately
Want to be your superhero
Yeah I want to be your superhero
I want to be your superhero
Oh I want to be your superhero
And, "Sewn" by The Feeling (This is so obvious it hurts!).
Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn
Nah nah nah etc.
Danny boy, don't be afraid, to shake that ass, and
misbehave
Danny boy, I now you got time, but what are you waiting
for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a
windy day
But you may find the chance has past you by;
I can't do the way
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn
Nah nah nah etc.
Danny boy, don't be a fool
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues just may wash away, if you wait for a
rainy day
But you may find, the chance had past you by
I can't do the way
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
made my head soft
Edit : I've just seen Top's post - nice to know we're still thinking the same way!
