Drunken Super Hero

To my ears there is a disconnect between fantastic lyrics and brilliant music. Neither does the other one justice. In the music I get a clear Stones vibe and you could build a song using the music as a scaffold, it's that good. Likewise the lyrics, with the right music, you could have a nice jaunty number to bounce along to. Wait and see what more experienced musicians say before replying, If everyone or most say the opposite, just ignore this.

Thanks for posting, interesting one with a lot of potential

I'll leave the lyrics here for anyone who's interested

Where's a drunken superhero when you need one?

it be so easy to talk to you if he was around

with that x ray double vision

there would be no decision

he'd look into your heart and in a single bound...

The weight of your world would be in his hands

your inner most thoughts would be on display

he'd know how to cheer you

never would fear you

stumblin' back from the phone booth

he'd know what to say

I wish I could spin a web

and capture your soul complete

you'd fall for me instantly

we'd be dancin in the street

but your beauty is kryptonite

simply not of this Earth

afraid i'm merely mortal

can't mumble my own worth

Where's a drunken superhero when you need one?

out in the broad daylight he's nowhere to be found

big brown eyes sappin all my power

knees buckle and I cower

you're wonder woman and how i'd love to be bound...

To your lasso of love, empowered and sure

if only the caped crusader could speak

you wouldn't ignore me

i know u'd adore me

the fight in your heart would begin to get weak

I wish I could spin a web

and capture your soul complete

you'd fall for me instantly

we'd be dancin in the street

but your beauty is Kryptonite

it's simply not of this Earth

most times i'm just merely mortal

can not mumble my own worth

Imagine that in two seconds flat

I could take you to London and Paris and Back...

I wish I could spin a web

and capture your soul complete

you'd fall for me instantly

we'd be dancin in the street

but your beauty is Kryptonite

it's simply not of this Earth

most times i'm just merely mortal

can not mumble my own worth

where's a drunken superhero when you need one?

The lyric and music do feel a little at odds, especially in V1. Maybe it's just getting used to it, but it seems more natural as the song goes on. And certainly the chorus is the strongest part, as it should be. I very much enjoyed that.

Referring to the drunken superhero in the 3rd person threw me at first. Why do you want someone else to look into her heart? It resolves as the song goes on, and maybe that's the effect you're going for, but it wasn't until the chorus that I understood this was a reference about the narrator as an alternate persona. It's a cool line though, and original!

Enjoyed the listen!
