Some Heroes Don't Wear Capes - Callum Beattie

He doesn't fight crime or wear a cape He doesn't read minds or levitate But every time my world needs saving He's my Superman Some folks don't believe in heroes 'cause They haven't met my dad He loves his workshop and rock 'n' roll He's got a hot rod and a heart of gold And you could say he's a man of few words But he talks a lot within And even though I'm a little taller I still look up to him He built me a house in the arms of a tree He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream When he looks in my eyes, I hope he can see that My dad's a hero to me Rust-ridden fenders and doors full of dings Somehow he can fix about anything I didn't think he knew how to cry 'Til our dog died that year He doesn't always say I love you But I can hear him loud and clear He built me a house in the arms of a tree He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream When he looks in my eyes, I hope he can see that My dad's a hero to me He built me a house in the arms of a tree He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream When he looks in my eyes, I hope he can see that My dad's a hero to me (My dad's a hero) (My dad's a hero) (My dad's a hero) My dad's a hero to me (My dad's a hero) (My dad's a hero) (My dad's a hero) My dad's a hero to me

She took herself out in the street All the cars stop at her feet Little darlin' close the door Lay down naked on the floor Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the saddest of them all? Remember times when you were young All the things you said and done Little Suzie's on the phone Daddy's drinking on his own Your mothers wonders was her last Now it seems your time has passed Stand by my side It'll be alright 'Cause down on Salamander Street All the cars stop at your feet tonight All the lights are turning red You should have stayed at home instead November streets are getting cold Another body bought and sold Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the saddest of them all? Stand by my side It'll be alright 'Cause down on Salamander Street All the cars stop at your feet tonight, alright Ohh and I I went looking for the things I'll never find And I'm hoping for the love you held inside I... Stand by my side It'll be alright 'Cause down on Salamander Street All the cars stop at your feet tonight, ohhh Yeah, down on Salamander Street All the cars stop at your feet tonight
