I can't stand to fly,I'm not that naive

[Guava Jelly]

I just received "Superman Returns" as a gift and It got me thinking of Christopher Reeves


and then I think of this tune..(for some reason it gives me goosebumps)

Superman - Five for Fighting
I cant 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...Im more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
Its not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home Ill 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 concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
Its not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
Its all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...

I cant 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
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream

I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And its not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

1. I've never known the words to the song beyond the first

two lines. Sad, especially when thinking of Mr. Reeve. Thanks for posting it, GoPsUx.

3. you are welcome

And yes it is sad
It is a shame we lost him and His Wife Dana

Chris and Dana Reeves

2. Superman never made any money for saving the world from Solomon Grundy

"Superman's Song"

Crash Test 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
And 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

4. I have never heard that

Thanks for sharing it
now i have to go search youtube for it :7

5. Great song, and

something to think about.

Supe is sorta my hero. Nonviolent and all...

However, if you don't like the Crash Test Dummies as a band, you won't like this song either. I was hooked instantly, but I think that CTD is pretty cool anyway.

7. I love it!!

Thank you for enlightening me.
Superman is also my hero.
just fyi...To many abused animals.. YOU ARE SUPERMAN!

8. Cool. Oh, and thanks, but

I'm only a man, in a silly red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

[Guava Jelly]

9. Yup and I am sure it ain't easy.

One thing about the five for fighting tune
When they sing "inside of me"
It sounds almost as if they are saying "in sodomy"
I hate it when I mishear (is that a word?) a lyric because it sticks with me forever.

10. This, my friend, is a thread

all in it's own...

11. That, good sir, is far superior to the Five for Fighting song!

God, but I love the Crash Test Dummies. And that is one awesome song.
