A song for comic fans!
From the joy of Warren Ellis comes Four-Color Love Story a love song done from the point of view of a comic character. I especially liked this part of the lyrics.
"Gwen Stacy isn't dead, she's only sleeping/And Elektra isn't evil or insane/Those bastards at the Pentagon/Can't really kill Sue Dibny/No more than they could kill off Lois Lane"
The Metasciences MY Space, where you can get most of the album. And you can get the song all by itself here (for 7 days}.
Another day of work is nearly over
You must have seen the whole thing on TV
Seventeen more city blocks
And I can almost smell you
Waiting at the windowsill for me
It's our 41st anniversary
But we don't look a day over 23
Not in this life
Not in this universe
We were still in high school when I met you
If you believe the continuity
I rescued you from robots and untied you from the tracks
And you pretended not to know that it was me
We didn't even kiss
Until issue #26
This world still feels like 1963
I love this life
I love this universe
And you'll keep my identity a secret
And you will know the touch beneath my glove
I may go out every night and risk my life for strangers
But you're the only girl I'll ever love
Gwen Stacy isn't dead, she's only sleeping
And Elektra isn't evil or insane
Those bastards at the Pentagon
Can't really kill Sue Dibny
No more than they could kill off Lois Lane
And I
swear to God there'll be hell to pay
If anyone tries to take you away
Forget this life
Forget this universe
You're everything I need
You are my life
You are my universe
They'll have to go through me
