#Listening to Runt's self-titled album from 1995. Still love it!
"Super hero, I don't think so
Super hero, just a dreamer
Stranger from another planet
He's a man we cannot trust
He's got my heckles up, I'm seeing red, ha ha
But petrified as well as mad, ha ha
The superman is in his head, ha ha
He's someone I would like to be
But can't believe"
Runt, 'Super Hero'

Written in 1995, but still *so* relevant!
"You say your life revolves around
The word that you heard
You mean your life revolves around
The word that you thought you heard
You read the book and seen the light
Now what is left for you
A good excuse, and a scapegoat
For everything that is untrue
You're fading quick
Your clever wit now in a shallow grave
Where is your mind
I think you'll find you've given it away"
Runt, 'Relish'
I love the fact that this one could be about stalker, or just a really need ex. Or even a cult leader.
"And if you push me away
I'm gonna be a yo yo
If you push me away
I'm gonna be a yo yo yo
You're better with the devil you know so well
You're better with the devil you know and love
An opportunity like this
Only comes along once in a lifetime
You could do a lot worse than this
And if you find yourself confused by options
Go with what you knew first"
Runt, 'Yo Yo'
