From Their 1986 Album Skylarking.
Lyrics:
I can't hold you down
If you want to fly
Can't you see I'm all broke up inside
Well just you use your two X Ray eyes
Hurt like Kryptonite
Put me on my knees
Now that I've found out just what you're doing
With your secret identities
That's really super Supergirl
How you saved yourself in seconds flat
And your friends are going to say
That's really super Supergirl
How you're changing all the world's weather
But you couldn't put us back together
Now I feel like I'm tethered deep
Inside your Fortress of Solitude
Don't mean to be rude
But I don't feel super
Supergirl
I won't call again
Even in a jam
Now I realise you could be on a mission
Saving some other man
That's really super Supergirl
How you saved yourself in seconds flat
And your friends are going to say
That's really super Supergirl
How you stopped the universe from dying
But you're never going to stop me crying
And I feel like you're trying hard
To sweep me like dirt underneath your cape
Well I might be an ape
But I used to feel super
Supergirl
That's really super Supergirl
How you saved yourself in seconds flat
And your friends are going to say
That's really super Supergirl
How you're changing the world's weather
But you couldn't put us back together
Super Supergirl
How you stopped the universe from dying
But you're never going to stop me crying
Super Supergirl
I'm here in your Fortress of Solitude
Don't mean to be rude
But I don't feel super

So sorry you don't feel super! But I saved myself. That's a feat, mate.

I wish I knew how they created these superb musical gems out of thin air. Genius is a much over used term, especially in pop music, but these lads are close enough. The rest of us mere mortals must have shared whatever cultural influences & psychic inspiration drove their imaginations, because their works instantly find a familiar home in our souls. Pure magic. I love it.

I got this song on vinyl last fall, and have been trying to get my friends to dance to it ever since!
