Lyrics Speed of Sound - Colin Buchanan
Little
guy,
he
was
the
apple
of
his
mother's
eye.
A
blondie-haired
ray
of
sweet
sunlight.
Shining
and
smiling
and
tumbling
Into
unsuspecting
hearts.
Little
guy,
when
he
wore
the
suit,
well,
you'd
swear
he
could
fly,
A
flash
of
red
and
blue
across
the
sky.
Loving
and
living
and
laughing
Like
tomorrow'd
never
come.
He
was
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound,
Scaled
mountains
in
a
single
bound,
More
powerful
than
a
steaming
locomotive.
Is
that
a
bird?
Is
that
a
plane?
No,
it's
the
little
guy
wearing
the
suit
again.
But
it
makes
him
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound.
Little
guy,
he
always
sucked
the
marrow
dry.
Four
foot
six
and
larger
than
life,
Urging
them
on
to
join
him
As
he
soared
above
the
clouds.
Little
guy,
he
had
the
spark
that
set
dreams
alight,
Gentle
and
tender
yet
full
of
fight.
Faithfully
joining
his
father
with
their
Shoulder
to
the
wheel.
He
was
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound,
Scaled
mountains
in
a
single
bound,
More
powerful
than
a
steaming
locomotive.
Is
that
a
bird?
Is
that
a
plane?
No,
it's
the
little
guy
wearing
the
suit
again.
But
it
makes
him
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound.
Little
guy,
beware
for
common
sense
will
tell
No
super
suit
can
make
a
man
impregnable.
A
little
pride,
a
little
lack
of
principle
Can
sap
the
strength
you
thought
made
you
invincible.
Little
guy,
truth
is,
the
suit
never
made
you
fly.
It
was
something
else
burning
deep
inside
Kicking
and
screaming
to
burst
out
and
to
Throw
you
towards
the
light.
And
it's
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound,
Scales
mountains
in
a
single
bound,
More
powerful
than
a
steaming
locomotive.
Is
that
a
bird?
Is
that
a
plane?
No,
it's
the
little
guy
taking
a
leap
of
faith.
It'll
take
him
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound.
It'll
take
you
faster
than
the
speed
of
sound.
