Superknight’s Song

Phil is Tasmania’s only jouster, according to recent articles in the Hobart Muckery.  He certainly looks impressive on his horse, so I hope he can find other, similarly bonkers individuals to help turn his dream into reality.  While he’s waiting, this is a song to the tune of Superman’s Song by Five For Fighting, about him.

I can’t stand to stride
Walking on my feet
I just want to ride,
A good horse under me

I’m more than a nerd, I’m more than a geek
I’m something this island finds to be unique
And it’s not easy to beat me…

I wish that I could fight
All would envy me
Find a foe to try
In a tourney by the sea

I may spread the word, be seen in the news
Every reader thinks I’m really cool
So don’t be disturbed, it’s just what I choose
I don’t mind my tendency to bruise
But it’s not easy to beat me

Up and find a way, a way to be…
Well I’m a knight, till I’ve found someone to fight,
I’m not aiming to be the king…

I can’t stand to stride
Plodding on my feet
Men weren’t meant to die
On a couch or bed or seat

I’m only a man in a shiny tin suit
Looking for someone else who wants to be
Only a man in a shiny tin suit
Looking for someone else apart from me
Apart from me
Apart from me
Yeah, apart from me
Apart from me

I’m only a man
In a shiny tin suit
I’m only a man
Looking to recruit

I’m only a man
In a shiny tin suit
And it’s not easy, ooh ooh ooh

It’s not easy to beat me
