lyrics

Superman came and took my love away,
Took her right from me,
As we lay arms in arms,
With his charms,
Fly away to your home beyond this universe,
Keep her all safe and warm,
In your arms,
Use your charms and your power.

Don't ask me nothing that you can't answer for yourself,
Or you'll find me deep down in your hell,
Don't come round here anymore I can't stand your sound,
Or you might find me with my gun and an empty round.

Superman came and took my love away,
Took her right from me,
As we lay arms in arms,
With his charms,
Fly away to your home beyond this universe,
Keep her all safe and warm,
In your arms,
Use your charms and your power.

I will sit,
Staring at you,
Cry for a bit and then smile,
Once it's out,
I will stand up,
Then move about back through life,
What is it all about now?

Jay Stansfield Lancashire

Original, affecting and a tad bonkers, Jay Stansfield has charmed us with his inventive approach to songwriting.

An artist with an eccentric songcraft, wrapped up in a 60s pop sheen.

He has steadily built a bank of great songs and some amazing videos - in his fiercely independent fashion.

Jay is also fronts British postpunk band ALL HAIL HYENA who can be found here on Bandcamp. ... more
