Swashbucklin' in Brooklyn Lyrics

My man was workin' at the seafood spot
Sellin' fish 'n chips and dealin' bags of pot
Dressed in a pirates uniform and all
Lookin' like a fool, headin' for a fall

He was walkin' home late one night, God bless
Heard the scream of a woman in immediate distress
He headed down the alley hoping for the best

He saw the girl who was screamin' her mouth beat shut
Two guys standin' by her 'bout to get fucked up
He said you don't hit the bitches while I'm still alive
Stabbed on in the neck, the other in the eye

The girl ran home, told her daddy she was saved
By a pirate with a shiv and a real smooth way
The vision of the pirate would surely never fade
So she called the New York post and tried to get paid

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Now the story ran the following day page two
But swashbucklin' in Brooklyn is all he want to do
I tried to sit him down and think things through
But swashbucklin' in Brooklyn is all he want to do

Now he was havin' problems like diving without drowning
The city, the cops, the mob trying to stop him
He needed a psychic that's where I came in
Tell his story to the world, help him with his shit

We cruise down the river, patrolling the docks
Deliverin' justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe, nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots

This kinda shits [unverified] had no choice
Doin' it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

We cruise down the river patrolling the docks
Deliverin' justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe, nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what nots

This kinda shits [unverified] had no choice
Doin' it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glory

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Super hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Uma banda de alternative rock de Nova York, Estados Unidos. Sua música é uma mistura de diversos estilos, mais notáveis o hip-hop, rock e blues, e sua canções falam sobre o dia a dia na cidade de Nova York: drogas, crime organizado e política. Eles são mais conhecidos pelo hit Scooby Snacks, que possui fragmentos de filmes de Quentin Tarantino.

Nos EUA eles são considerados artistas de um hit só. Entretanto, a banda ganhou considerável reconhecimento internacional, principalmente no norte da Europa, especialmente quando lançaram seus dois primeiros álbuns no final da década de 1990.

Formação

A banda foi formada em 1993 por Hugh Morgan ("Huey", vocais, guitarra), Brian Leiser ("Fast", teclados, baixo, trompete, harmônica) e Steve Borovini ("O", bateria).

Em 1999, Borgovini deixou a banda (depois que ele, nas palavras de Huey: "ficou um pouco louco e foi embora para o Peru") - encontrando sucesso depois com Needledrop (http://www.myspace.com/needledrop) e CC JONES(http://www.ccjonesandtheforgotten). Ele foi substituído por Maxwell Jayson ("Mackie"). Mackie depois foi substituído em 2003 por Mark (aka "Frank" ou "The Rhythm Master") de Leicester, RU, quem tinha anteriormente trabalhado com a banda como técnico de Mackie.

Álbuns e outros projetos

Come Find Yourself, o primeiro álbum da banda, foi lançado em 1995, e continha o hit Scooby Snacks, que continha fragmentos dos filmes de Tarantino.

100% Colombian, lançado em 1998, continha um pouco menos de influência do rock. Singles incluíam Love Unlimited (um tributo ao artista Barry White) e Big Night Out.

O álbum de 1999, Mimosa, continha em sua maioria covers e versões alternativas da faixas antes lançadas; mas o de 2001 Loco continha apenas músicas novas, incluíndo o hit Loco, e mais sons relax.

O álbum seguinte, Welcome to Poppy's, foi lançado em 2003 e possuía faixas mais animadas, com mais influências do rock.

O álbum Livin' In The City foi lançado em 2005 e continha o single Mi Corazon. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
