Today’s Tunage: Jimmy Olsen’s Blues

By FITSNews || It’s one of the all-time great underdog anthems – as well as one of the biggest hits from a band everybody used to know but not a lot of people still remember.

At least not without prompting.

“Oh yeah … the Spin Doctors.”

Yeah … the Spin Doctors.

This is Jimmy Olsen’s Blues, off the band’s 1991 debut studio album, Pocket Full Of Kryptonite.

I don’t think I can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I’ll talk to my analyst
I got it so bad for this little journalist
It drives me up the wall and through the roof
Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
I think I’m going out of my brain
I got it so bad for little miss Lois Lane

Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

I got a pocket full of Kryptonite (x2)

He’s leaping buildings in a single bound
I’m reading Shakespeare in my place downtown
Come on downtown and make love to me
I’m Jimmy Olsen not a titan, you see
He’s faster than a bullet, stronger than a train
He’s the one who got lucky
Got his cape around miss Lois Lane
I can’t believe my dilemma is real
I’m competing with the man of steel

Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

Hey hey hey
Oh Miss Lois Lane

I don’t think i can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I’ll talk to my analyst
I got it so bad for this little journalist
Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite
