in the tradition of Clinton, (thanks btw, reminding me of that song, it was on my computer but i forgot about it, its ace)

but anyway, in the tradition of Clinton, i will also post here a nice Superman related song, which is a REALLY NICE song, makes me sad to hear it, even more so now, and what great lyrics...

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive
I'm just trying to find the better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train, and it's not easy to be me

I 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 wont you conceive
Even heroes have the right to dream, and it's not easy to be me

Up ahead, away from me
Well 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 on this one way street looking for special things inside of me

I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet, and it's not easy
It's not easy to be me
