Oasis - Heroes Lyrics






I, I wish I could swim
Just like a dolphin, like dolphins can swim
And nothing, is gonna keep us together
And we can beat them, for ever and ever
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you're gonna be my queen
Yeah but nothing, is gonna drive us away
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day
And we're gonna be ourselves, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
When I was standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And then the guns, they shot over our heads (over our heads)
And then we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
Well then the shame, yeah, the shame was on their side
But we're gonna 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

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?

  18. v.... ....

    This David Bowie cover and 'Thank you For The Good Times' (another Oasis song) are very alike. They both remind me of my last few weeks at school, going out and partying in the sun instead of revising for my upcoming exams. Good times.

  26. A.... D....

  27. S.... B....

    David Bowie being one of my most loved musicians on the planet, I can't
    say I like this version more than the original, but I can say it is a
    great and beautiful tribute to the Thin White Duke.

  28. b.... h....

    OH MY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD

    I have this song on the Do you know what I mean single, any takers? :)

    S.... B....

    That's the spirit. x

  35. G.... K....

    bubblegum.

  36. M.... B....

    Noel Gallagher with probably the best ever cover of Heroes that there is....but the original by David Bowie will always be majestic in comparison

    M.... B....

    yes, and it shows,that a cover isnt a cheap thing!

    M.... B....

    Motorhead give it a listen you won't be disappointed .

    M.... B....

    Peter Gabriel's gives Bowie a run for his money

    M.... B....

    @hahajackson yep Gabriel's is best.

    M.... B....

    Let us not forget about The Wallflowers, who also did a good job covering this one

  37. e.... ....

    I'm disappointed that this song isn't included on the upcoming remastered/expanded version of Be Here Now.

    e.... ....

    yes ,pity

    e.... ....

    Isn’t it a pity

  38. T.... ....

    Great cover of a classic tune,Noel gallager is a great songwriter and 1 of the best artists to come from the uk in a long time,after so many classic hits he produced over the years just proves how good he is.Bowie is a legend.

  39. T.... ....

    Any City fan who used to go to the matches around 2006-10 will remember this being played before every game at the COM stadium.

    T.... ....

    im a united fan, don't mind admitting that this band changed my life 20 years ago at maine rd, and went gigs at your new ground!!  could've been worse, it could've been anfield

  40. A.... ....

    Noel can't sing just sounds whiney

    A.... ....

    u are a total ass hat

    A.... ....

    YES HE CAN

    A.... ....

    I will assassinate Noel with a hammer.

    A.... ....

    Do it to yourself first, just to make sure it works :)

  41. G.... ....

    THIS A GREAT VERSION I LOVE IT (RIP BOWIE)

  42. S.... S....

    S.... S....

    S.... S....

    +Cremnitz it's ain't opening with iTunes ??!

    S.... S....

    +Slonderman well I can't lol

    S.... S....

    @Sweeping Sweeper Go into wherever your downloads on your computer go to (mine go in a default 'download' folder under documents), right click, open with, itunes....but itunes should be the default :)

    S.... S....

    +Cremnitz oh I get it. I was wondering if you had a way to put songs into iPhone without connecting to a computer

  43. F.... 8....

    all credits to david Bowie, I have mad respect for him and please RIP Bowie but Noel madr this song ten times better in my opinion

    F.... 8....

    i totally agree, genius- and the tambourine from liam chills ,woooooooooooow,and after 20 years,the song is so amazing,never boring,after 1233 times (maybe) :)

    F.... 8....

    yeah seriously :)

    F.... 8....

    This version sucks

    F.... 8....

    Were your ears poked out with knitting needles?
    I’m all for opinions but what an absolutely ridiculous thing to claim. Have a word with yourself.

    F.... 8....

    Nicolò Martinelli agreed. Terrible.

  44. L.... C....

    GOD BLESS YOU DAVID

  45. G.... T....

    Brilliant cover this,one of there best b sides

  46. D.... ....

    Play this in my funeral please.

  47. �.... ....

    이 커버곡을 오아시스를 통해 알았었는데 그게 보위옹의 곡이였다니ㅜㅜㅠㅠ 편안히 잠드시길..

    �.... ....

    aye, fuck thum, fickin bawbags the lot ae thum.

  48. v.... c....

    We 80's born people just like more epicness in everything, that is why we like this version better, but I love Bowie don't get mi wrong, also I was like 10 when I heard this so I do have an emotional attachment to oasis.

  49. n.... ....

    RIP Bowie : your version is 100 times better.

    n.... ....

    @nonokbh To make their own version? To sound different? To have fun? Are you saying I can't cover a Bowie song if I won't make it better?

    n.... ....

    +Carlos Vitório Good ! But it seems obvious to you that a cover is necessary worse ....

    n.... ....

    oasis version is better

    n.... ....

    nonokbh go and suck a black cock u cunt

    n.... ....

    nonokbh Rip Bowie but Noel's version is just better.

  50. j.... ....

    One of my favorite things about Oasis is that they made it abundantly clear who their heroes were. Bowie, Slade, Beatles, Neil Young, Who, etc... They're absolute proof that trying to reinvent the wheel is simply not necessary if you have talent.

    j.... ....

    jsimon414 spot on.

  51. G.... T....

    greatest cover of this song!

  52. L.... G....

    DAVID YOU ARE IN OUR HEART!!! R.I.P. LOVE YOU!!!

  53. b.... w....

    Rip david god bless

  54. G.... r....

    RIP David ❤

  55. a.... a....

    Oasis have always made magnificent works. Especially when it was at their prime, it can never be bad.

  56. b.... ....

    REST IN PEACE DAVID BOWIE :'(

  57. h.... ....

    Sounds like 'thank you for the good times'

    h.... ....

    Well that's lucky for us then because 'thank you for the good times' happens to be a great tune.

    h.... ....

    Thanks for the good times sounds like heroes, because heroes came first.

    h.... ....

    To me it sounds like Stay Young

  58. U.... A....

    the best cover of any song...........ever

  59. L.... B....

    This song seems really appropriate today ...

    L.... B....

    +Léo Bettoni i agree

  60. m.... h....

    thank tou David Bowie

  61. r.... ....

    Reminds me of the old days.....

  62. L.... J....

    Pure class

  63. c.... M....

    A like some gotta be one of he's best cover sf

  64. J.... G....

    Too many wallopers on here slating one of the best British bands of all time. Just do one elsewhere since you's are that great yourselves .. What have you achieved ?

    J.... G....

    +Grant Turner more like i heard the David Bowie version and found that better lmao

    J.... G....

    +Katrina Rose not a bad thing.

    J.... G....

    Too right James. fuckin beltin cover

    J.... G....

    well said mate.

    J.... G....

    well said!!!!!!!!

  65. T.... E....

    This will never ever live up to the original but its the second best version of this song easy

  66. B.... P....

    They took a beautiful, original, unique song by David Bowie and turned it into a generic, crap song. Good job, Oasis.

    B.... P....

    Explain how is it generic?

    B.... P....

    Said Barry, the non-generic guy.

    B.... P....

    your taste, i see it completely different! but that is the good thing in life, how boring were it otherwise :), everybody klike the same,like nordkorea people :)

  67. J.... D....

    love this single

  68. H.... K....

    Amazing :) Noel's got a damn great voice.

  69. J.... P....

    Love this

  70. L.... H....

    I can't find anywhere to download this from and I need it in my life (i.e. on my iPhone). Any suggestions?

    L.... H....

    @oneIDG007

    Thanks for getting back to me mate. Can you suggest any apps to use? This is new territory for me. I'm in the UK if it makes a difference

    L.... H....

    @Luke Hathaway YTD Video Downloader lets you choose if you only want the audio in mp3 format.

    L.... H....

    You could go online and buy the "D'yer know what I mean" single with it as a b side.

    L.... H....

    +Luke Hathaway that is literally what im trying to do now!

  71. b.... ....

    I have this cd single.
    NG you R O C K C H I E F !

  72. t.... ....

    The Simpsons brought me here

  73. H.... B....

    Cracking upload..cheers for sharing!!

  74. D.... G....

    Bowie's version is infinitely better. I love Oasis, but this cover just sucks, sorry.

    D.... G....

    Bowie's version?

  75. B.... B....

    I've listened to a lot of covers of Heroes on Youtube and I prefer this one.

  76. b.... ....

    Couldnt have said it better myself

  77. B.... ....

    you're pathetic, It's a fact, seriously, if you don't like oasis, fine. But don't lie,

  78. B.... ....

    fuck off, you're blinded by something, whatever it is, it's doing you know favours

  79. L.... S....

    Noel did it better than bowie period

  80. s.... m....

    shitey cover Noel....stick 2 your own collection of classics....nearly more than Bowie now hehehehehehe

  81. t.... ....

    my point being is that a cover is an artist interpretation of the song, and you came on here to slag it off comparing to the original version of the song as most people do when they hear covers. Also you're looking for that "edge and passion" Bowie puts in his songs well you're better off listening to the original song and never listening to covers. So go listen to the original song.

  82. t.... ....

    it's a cover you fucking idiot, if you want all that "edge, passion" or whatever go listen to the original.

  83. C.... T....

    All B Sides of Oasis are very good songs.

  84. P.... V....

    I Have this one!

  85. T.... ....

    Best heroes cover ever. This blows Bowie's out of the water man I'm telling you.

    T.... ....

    ah come on, this is nice and all and I love Oasis as much as Bowie, but I can't help but think.. WHY does Noel have to yell from start to finish?

  86. m.... ....

    Best bassline ever xx

  87. a.... t....

    done!!!

  88. a.... t....

    ....d'ont think so mate....

  89. M.... ....

    This is an ace cover. dont care what the purists say.

  90. g.... ....

    They make it tuneless. An Oasis signature sound - tuneless.

    g.... ....

    Timelss***

  91. t.... ....

    Hope man city win the league,from a liverpool fan,,,,we all hate utd.

    t.... ....

    topseyshakehands they did

  92. E.... D....

    I'd like to dedicate this to Manchester City Football Club. Well done lads; one step closer to the EPL title!!!!
