David Bowie - "Heroes" Lyrics






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 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, 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

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh
Just for one day

    How could anyone possibly give a thumbs down to this. Unbelievable performance.

  3. S.... M....

    One of the best!!

  4. R.... B....

    Bowie is in my opinion the greatest artist that has ever existed. He was revolutionary, daring, excentric and persistant. He had an amazing and unique voice and look how he smiled throughout this whole performance, simply brilliant. Bowie has created timeless and immensely well-written songs and he did it ALL BY HIMSELF. What a legend.

  65. A.... S....

    Geilsten Zeiten gewesen kommen leider nie wieder 😥👍🎙🎸🎼😎🇺🇲👍

  66. c.... d....

    ye geweldig xxx

  67. D.... F....

    What a funny amazing huge guy. What a fucking bloke this guy. Yo. Stop killing my people. I’m not playing no mo.

  68. G.... W....

    The coolest man who ever walked the earty

    G.... W....

    Brian Ferry maybe?

    G.... W....

    @Tony Bailey definitely a shot but I think Bowie just nicks it of course many might agree with you and that's fine no argument here

    G.... W....

    @Gerard White Yeah, can't argue. Ferry was the ultimate "Lounge Lizard", would steal your wife while you were paying for his drinks.
    Bowie (in his public persona) was something ethereal & above earthly concerns so he's the coolest. Happy new Year

  69. e.... c....

    Regular show :(
    Un show mas :(

  70. B.... O....

    He had the greatest genuine laugh, "come to your daddy,baby". Believe me, had he ever said that to me, I'd a come a runnin'.

    B.... O....

    Davd Bowie is god, so the moment you die Bowie appears to you and that's how he calls you home.

  71. j.... b....

    One word: LEGEND!

    j.... b....

    ...and a bunch of other brilliant words to describe this man, however after this amazing performance, his bus may be a lil crowded! ;) luv u bowie! One love frm canada!!!

  72. P.... D....

    what is it with the english and pop stars...unfrikin believable the talent comin out of that place

  73. P.... D....

    this guy is a master...unique. like zeppelin..pink floyd..springsteen

  74. (.... D....

    you Arsch,unvergessen.

  75. B.... L....

    Merry Christmas Mr Bowie, I bow to you for ever.

    B.... L....

    Happy new year.... drunk in the garage...

  76. A.... B....

    > 23k people cannot hear a single chord. Pray for them paracoustics.

  77. T.... S....

    It's my favorite Bowie song. No matter who you are, what's in your past, you can be a hero. Unsung is best but a hero is a hero. God loves us all. Love like God. Love everyone. No one is all bad.

  78. M.... V....

    I can honestly say, that of all celebrities, special not only for their talent in song writing, but incredible intelligence and style and class, he is the only one that I will always miss. The world lost its luster when he left us.

  79. M.... L....

    "Ich erinnere mich stehend an der Mauer" Danke David** greetings from your hometown *BERLIN*

  80. D.... T....

    Lets enter another decade with David Bowie even though he isn't with us anymore.

    D.... T....

    @Lisa Zimny your very lucky lisa. Night fencer

    D.... T....

    The body is such a small thing compared to the actions a person makes. David is still with us now and forever and thank you David for being you.

    D.... T....

    @Fredrick Noble loved so many of his lyrics. " This is ground control to Major Tom......such a simple intro.....into an odysee

    D.... T....

    You bet!

  81. c.... ....

    Such a great loss. A man who could touch your soul with his music! I miss you Mr. Howie !

  82. C.... G....

  93. m.... ....

    歳を取ればとればとるほどBowieの表現しようとしていた事の真意が解るようになってきた気がする。思い違い…の筈ないよな。

  94. s.... ....

    David Bowie has my f*cking soul.
    But my heart is for my Hero.
    Babe, we could be Heroes. just for one day

  95. D.... P....

    2019 Bowie 👏🏻

  96. I.... B....

    wie winzig klein sind doch die Lügen meiner "Schwester" und die Unterstellungen meines "Bruders" die wir ertragen mussten - wenn man David hören und genießen kann!!!
