Heroes Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie

Heroes
David Bowie
Changes 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
For ever and ever
What d'you say

I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever 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
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can 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

by shiraniibrahim on 5/21/2008 1:16am You are a hero if you could proudly stand And make the one you love to take her hand And make her your partner in your life And not be afraid to make her your lawful wife You are a hero if you break the chainns of a life Of a life that you found a unending pain You are a hero if you have no secret life And be a misery to others and cause them strife A hero is man with honor and self dignity Who does not break anothers life with his animosity

by bkhelmet on 6/6/2008 11:55pm Precious song, unbelievably profound and hopeful. Makes me wonder what it is to really be in love, to be so much dazed as to want and be inspired to write such a song. Thanks David.

by lee on 2/15/2009 5:58am top quality song
by Frankie R on 2/19/2009 2:29pm Just for those who care to know why Bowie wrote this. Bowie used to frequent a cafe bar atop a high rise building in West Berlin that overlooked the Berlin wall. He noticed every day at a set time, a man would come and stand on the viewing tower (a flight of wooden stairs to a public platform that overlooked the wall, across no mans land, to the wall on the East side). He would stand there motionless and gaze across to the East, where a woman would come at the same time, and stand atop the tower, staring back at the man. They would make no sign, no waving, nothing but looking. Then they would go, returning again the next day. Bowie reasoned these were two lovers, separated by the closing of the iron curtain, whose love endured, despite the deadening oppression of their separation. One day at a time, their love continued to silently shine across the gulf that separated them in sight of one another. They were indeed hero's, just for one day. Every day.
by William on 2/26/2009 4:57pm Who wouldn't want to be? Heroe,just for one day.
by lovedog on 3/9/2009 10:23pm I'm a hero
by Nobby Nutkins on 3/18/2009 8:04am 'David Bowie on 7/8/2008 2:41pm Bowie sucks. He's the perfect shit-eater. His mother sucks long dicks and yours too.' I've got a sneaking suspicion you're not really David Bowie, are you?
by Blasphemous on 3/20/2009 1:08am What a masterpiece!! am simply speechless !!
by desdemona on 3/28/2009 1:16am 'David Bowie on 7/8/2008 2:41pm Bowie sucks. He's the perfect shit-eater. His mother sucks long dicks and yours too.' interesting. judging by your comments i assume you listen only to what whoever arbitrates the top forty dreck mainlines into your ears. you realise that this is the equivalent of how people involved in human trafficking shoot their slaves up with heroin every day so that they get hooked and don't want to run away any more, right? only you're holding your arm out voluntarily, and offering to help hold the belt tight. also, i find it fascinating that you were taking the time to look at david bowie lyrics when you supposedly hate the man that much.
by Berlinskimedved on 3/28/2009 7:03am @Frankie R! Thanks a lot for the explanation.
by Erno on 3/30/2009 5:45pm Can't say too many good things about Bowie. He was my only Icon as a child, back in the days of Ziggy and as I grow older I keep rediscovering his genius. As long as I live I hope to learn more about his art, and more and more and more. On closer inspection he never fails to leave me in a state of wonder and awe. He's a super freaky cosmic angel sent to shake us up. Long live Bowie!! Nobby Nutkins, you need to get a grip mate, life's too short.
by ww2pilot on 4/1/2009 4:39pm We can be heroes just for one day oh yes what this actor sings. Perfect.
by goblins on 4/26/2009 11:18am david bowie's work is pure genius....cant live w/o this man
by Atila on 5/6/2009 9:20pm Linda
by barbs on 5/17/2009 4:12pm has anyone seen Gia? I fell in love with this song when Gia tells Linda I will be king and youll be my king. Just knowing that I'm listeing to something Gia once listened to.. Gives me this really speacial feeling
by john colbeck on 5/27/2009 8:56am bowie was and still is the best artist,from the 70s 80s
by Durk on 6/2/2009 12:49pm Wonderful song, and Frankie R, thanks for the explanation
by pepo on 6/2/2009 9:18pm thanks david!
by Miquel on 6/4/2009 12:03pm Increible. Always in my mind....
by SLMartin on 7/2/2009 8:46pm About the Frankie R. story: I believe Bowie told that story, but I don't believe that is really what the song's about. It is more like a metaphor for what the song is about.
