Captain Suburbia

I seem to have stumbled on what is quite possibly the greatest song ever recorded.

I’m a bird, I’m a plane,
I’m Captain Suburbia!
The weeds will grow
The grey will show
My garage will overflow
Lucky me! I’m Captain Suburbia!

I’m not too young for anything
Anymore.
I meet all my friends and neighbors
at the liquor store
I’m mechanically inclined,
Blissfully insane,
rescuing the sacred
from the jaws of the mundane

[...]

Lucky me! I’m Captain Suburbia!
I’m a bird, I’m a plane,
I’m Captain Suburbia!
The weeds will grow
The grey will show
My garage will overflow
Lucky me! I’m Captain Suburbia!

– Roger Clyne “Captain Suburbia”

There’s even a video…

    This is really going to take off in the cul-de-sacs of Camp Hill.

    I just just see all the Camp Hill trophy wives / soccer moms rocking out, singing along in their Lexus SUVs.
