about

Superhero is different from all the other tracks in that it was performed by the live full lineup of Kinnaber Junction rather than just by Gary. It is actually the only time the live lineup was captured.

the song was inspired by Jonny, an activist with Fathers for Justice and was originally recorded for F4J but the project was shelved.so sat unused for years. I'm glad it's now found a home.

lyrics

I cry myself to sleep whispering your name
I hope to hell you know mine
A single photograph’s as close as I can come
Not allowed to cross that line
I send a card, I know you’ll never see
Wishing you were here with me

Chorus
Every child needs a superhero
A man of steel but you’ll always melt my heart
Though you can’t see me
I’m a part of you but we’re forced to be apart

I don’t want to change your live but I know you’d change my world
I want you just to know I care
Am I the bogeyman who lurks outside your door
Or do you even know I’m there
When I sleep, you’re in my every dream
Then I wake to the nightmare that is real

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I can fly, see though walls, stop a speeding bullet for you
I can save the world but I cannot save myself.

Instrumental

Chorus

Superhero, Superhero
I can save the world but I cannot save myself
