Tom P Buckley

Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming in G major, 115 BPM]
[Verse 1]
[male tenor vocals, conversational tone]
Superman went out of town
Just to find a place around
From the way it was and what he wants inside
It's a different day
I know-no-no it's a different day
No-no-no-no it's a different day
No-no-no-no it's a different day
No-no-no-no, I know it, I know it, I know it
I don't have to show it, I'll show it, I'll show it
[Chorus]
[vocals transition to high-register belting]
No, I won't fall by the wayside
I walk by the wayside
Sit on a hill and watch all the younger go by
Out there in the summer
Summer
[Outro]
[strained vocals]
I don't know why, I don't know why that I do
I can't help it
Something to make yourself laugh
Was a different day
Different day
Different day
[vocal ad-libs, high-pitched]
Oh, myself the new one
You don't get in line, you always end up
Straight on
Oh
Oh
Oh
And now there you go
Oh, oh, na-na-na-na-na-na there you go
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na there you go
[guitar ends on a final strum]
