Behind the Songs: Superman

A couple quotes from Richard Butler on the Love Spit Love song "Superman".


Richard Butler: "'Seventeen' and 'Superman' are both about getting older, not being in your teens anymore, but being in your thirties. 'Superman' is about remembering when you're a kid and how you're a Superman when you're 19 or 17 or 18." (Press Of Atlantic City 1994)


Richard Butler: "There's a line 'I don't want your talk talk talk'... I thought about that when I came up with that line. I thought 'that sounds like... yeah, that'll do. I'll leave it in there'." (Unknown source, 1994?)
