I always kinda liked this song - how shambolic it is and how tuneful. As far as I can tell its about a guy, the titular Mr Superlove, that has an argument with his girlfriend and throws her down the stairs.
I guess the title is about the difference between how we perceive ourselves and how we actually are.
Here are the original Ass Ponys lyrics:
the storm was blowing from the south
the blood was running from your mouth
i recall the music playing
couldn't hear what you were saying
the cat was howling, yowling, wanting out
you may not believe me
baby, when i tell you
that i am mr. superlove
the glass was shattered on the floor
a hundred pieces maybe more
i remember you were crying
just before you sent it flying
the sirens sounding
the pounding on the door
you may not believe me
baby, when i tell you
that i am mr. superlove
your clothes were lying on the chair
your face was hidden by your hair
and all that i could think of then
was what it must have felt like when
you were flying naked
headlong down the stairs
you may not believe me
baby, when i tell you
that i am mr. superlove
