Doesn't Anybody Ever Know That the World's a Subway?

Those, of course, are the lyrics to Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace. That is the song that came blaring out of my clockradio on Monday morning.
"That's weird," I thought to myself, "CKUA (the station that my clockradio has selected for itself this month) never plays Our Lady Peace."
Then I learned the morbid reason for which it was playing. Superman did die. I felt sad as I finished listening to OLP, then to The Crash Test Dummies (Dummy or Dummies, I don't know which)'s Superman. That one was a little bit more appropriate for the circumstances, seeing that OLP (or"wolves' " if you will)'s song doesn't really have much to do with Superman himself. It's about the loss of childhood innocence, as far as I can tell.

Christopher Reeve, may people continue to push for spinal cord research.

Hmm, it seems that I fancy putting song lyrics on my blog, so I'm going to keep doing it.

I'm still undecided as to whether or not this was an appropriate song to play.
