David Bowie – Heroes
from The Best Of Bowie
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What’d you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We’re nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
Rock’n’roll suicide – Live Tokio -1990
Paroles
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall’s calling, it lingers, then you forget
You’re a rock ‘n’ roll suicide
You’re too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past the cafe but you don’t eat when you’ve lived too long
You’re a rock ‘n’ roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don’t let the sun blast your shadow
Don’t let the milk floats ride your mind
So natural – religiously unkind
Oh, no love! You’re not alone
You’re watching yourself but you’re too unfair
You got you head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh, no love! You’re not alone
No matter what of who you’ve been
No matter when or where you’re seen
All the knives seem to lacerate you brain
I’ve had my share so I’ll help you with the pain
You’re not alone just turn on with me
You’re not alone let’s turn on and be
You’re not alone gimme your hands
You’re wonderful gimme your hands
You’re wonderful gimme your hands
