about

One thing I love is COMICS. Not Graphic Novels or anything soppy like that, proper COMICS with superheroes, they're GRATE. I've spent years trying to write a song about them but the very idea of thinking about COMICS has always been too distracting and I've ended up wandering off to find some to read.

Until NOW, that is, True Believers! For there came a day unlike any other when I suddenly realised I could use them as a metaphor for generally cheering up and not being the kind of prematurely truculent fool that I was during my own teenage years. This song is the result, and the world shall never be the same again!

Excelsior!

lyrics

Like Black Bolt with a cob on
You sit there in a sulk
While everybody else is down the pub
If you think your time's spent better
Doing research in your room
You are not Mr Fantastic, you're Doctor Doom
So Victor, just for you
Here's a universal truth

Being happy doesn't make you stupid
Being clever shouldn't make you sad
Having fun will never turn you daft

Do you believe sarcastic sneering
Is the best way to react
To a rotten world only you understand?
If the planet's all that awful
Then don't you think you should
Try and use your mighty power for good?
It doesn't take a Cosmic Cube
To see that what I say is true

Being happy doesn't make you stupid
Being clever shouldn't make you sad
Having fun will never turn you daft

Put this message in a bottle
Send that bottle back through time
I know someone who could use this advice
Hey there Emo Boy give us all a smile
Hey there Emo Boy give us all a smile
Hey there Emo Boy give us all a smile
Hey there Emo Boy give us all a smile

Being happy doesn't make you stupid
Being clever shouldn't make you sad
Having fun will never turn you daft

We spend all our lives trapped inside
A prison made of bone
The sound of laughter says we're not alone
We're not alone
Don't be alone
You're not alone

Being happy doesn't make you stupid
Being clever shouldn't make you sad
Having fun will never turn you daft
