Visual interpretation of Superman by Stereophonics

A fake, emasculated "Superman", not quite the hero; he is propelled by his own ego. Superman should be able to fly using his powers, but he uses the plane.

Starts off with a penthouse apartment with floor to ceiling windows/walls and it is initially shot in black and white. There is a bed with messed up white linen. A woman with dark hair wearing a button up blouse, barelegged. When the softer bit starts at the beginning she is lying on the bed. During the smooth bits of the song, the camera scans and pans her body and legs entwined in the white linen. She's clutching the linen as if in a bad dream; she is in the throes thereof, which becomes symbolic of the rocky relationship. Musicians perceive their instruments as their love or baby. During the more melodic bit of the song you hear more pronounced guitar sounds in between. The guitar sounds would represented by the colour scenes of the guy playing the guitar, which is interjected between the black and white scenes of the woman on the bed. It signifies his torment in making the right decision. The black and white scenes of the woman would become progressively less as the song goes along.

The song starts picking up in intensity towards the end. The scenes of the guy stroking and playing his guitar now erases the woman's presence from his mind and heart. Colour becomes the truth; he chooses the guitar and the lifestyle of a rock star over her. She is gone from his mind and thoughts. Instead of actually using the imagery of "another woman" he wants to sleep with, the guitar would be used as a metaphor; the lines and planes of the instrument simulating the body of a woman.

Lyrics
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you
You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you

You look like Jesus on an aeroplane
Ya head's against the window pane
You got opinions but you ain't got news
You got good laughs but when it suits you

You turn it on like a leaking tap
Dripping dropping people drop of a hat
You gotta mouth but you ain't got guts
That drunken mouth you should keep it shut

You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you

Superman on an aeroplane
Sitting next to Lois Lane
You got that woman but you want her gone
So you can sleep with a teenage blonde

You wear a mask, wear an armoured suit
Can't get to you with the gun I shoot
Ya play your cards close to your chest
Because ya poker face is a dreary mess

You don't know what it's been like
Meeting someone like you

Superman on an aeroplane
Sitting next to Lois Lane
You got that woman but you want her gone
So you can fuck a teenage blonde

You turn it on like a leaking tap
Dripping dropping people drop of a hat
You gotta mouth but you ain't got guts
That drunken mouth you should keep it shut
