about

Propeller Man is a shitty superhero whose only power is a pair of fancy white sneakers that have little propellers instead of laces, and he can use them to sort of hover for short distances. People don't really like him because he always shows up at night clubs expecting to cut the line and get free drinks, but he's relatively clueless as to their general ambivalence towards him. Aside from his modest powers, he has very little going for him in the personality department, and works at a Telemarketing firm. He pretty much lives for the 4 O'clock whistle, as his alter ego is the only thing keeping him from going on a shooting rampage at the office.

lyrics

Propeller Man, do what you can to stop the world from bringing you down
Whenever the day turns to night you'll dress in white, go out and paint the town
with propeller laces on your satin superhero shoes
You'll wage your war upon the disco floor
and dance away your blues
Regular Joe, don't you know they'll work you slowly into your grave?
Whenever the boss takes the piss, just think on this:
He's got no soul to save!
No one's coming to rescue your ass
from the porcelain prison of the working class
So take your shoes down off the shelf,
go out and save yourself!
Evil doers flee from the sight of a man with style and presence!
They're nothing in the world can touch the magic that you do
fighting down the tyranny of sorrow
So wage your war go home and brush your teeth and go to bed
and put your shoes away until tomorrow.

The Psychic Alliance Vancouver, British Columbia

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot. Stories of vicious infighting and naughtiness follow them like a black cloud, and the threat of immediate collapse is constant. Fortunately they look cool. ... more
