Not In Nottingham

Next Track

NOT IN NOTTINGHAM

I always thought you’d be my Lois Lane and I’d be Superman

But you can’t see behind the glasses, you only see Clark Kent

I’ve been hiding in this phone booth waiting for the day

That you finally find your senses and I jump out and say

Lois Lane, come and fly away with me

I’d be your super hero but there ain’t no Justice League

In Metropolis nothing’s going right

Never get a break, there’s always Kryptonite

All the fairy tales never end like this

Boy gets the girl, but not in Metropolis

I always thought you’d be Maid Marian and I’d be Robin Hood

But from your palace window you can’t see the forest for Sherwood

Your heart’s all I want to steal but how do I begin

This personal crusade when good guys never win

Marian, we could run away tonight

If it wasn’t for the Sheriff always keeping me in sight

Here in Nottingham everything’s gone wrong

Never get a break she always falls for Prince John

All those fairy tales, every one’s a sham

Boy gets the girl but not in Nottingham

It’s not a perfect world we’re living in

I’m all alone and you’ve got your band of merry men
