Heroes Lyrics - David Bowie
Review The Song (4)
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, for ever 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, for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I won't be king
And you, you won't 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, for ever 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
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, for ever 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, for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I won't be king
And you, you won't 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, for ever 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

I Had My One and Only Stroke With This Song | Reviewer: Bruce Ramsey | 11/22/12
I made a video to this song at the age of 22, and, had a stroke near the end of it. I went from impersonating David Bowie to impersonating John Hurt's version of the Elephant Man without trying. Thank God the stroke only lasted a few minutes. Being that was, so far, my one and only stroke, I'll NEVER forget this song.
Music with meaning | Reviewer: Cait | 8/11/12
If artists these days could write music with half as much meaning,mor even melody, as the likes of Bowie,mthe world would be a better place. One of my favourite songs, full of raw emotion.
Inspirational Rock | Reviewer: Jeff | 7/1/07
I remember the livecast of the 'Concert for New York" after 9-11 and Bowie led off with a cover version of Simon & Garfunkel's 'America' then followed it with the perfect emotional song for the moment: Heroes. This is the United State's strength- that is, in times of great crisis, we are at our best as a nation.
Music WOW | Reviewer: Ricky | 2/9/07
Music with melody lyrics, and talent. I guess I'm just old, and the rap is the new generations way to swing. Oh well I listen to what I want on my techno gadgets.
