Wallflowers, The - Heroes Lyrics






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.

We can be Heroes, just for one day.

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I 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 could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day

Wallflowers, The Heroes Comments
  1. m.... s....

    I think that David Bowie is one of the greatest singers. He has shown time and again that his range is great. I miss his songs and voice. He will be in my heart always.

  2. M.... B....

    The world without Bowie is less interesting.

  3. m.... l....

    Gochira,gochira!!

  4. J.... B....

    I am a musician. I have done soundtracks to video games. I have covered songs more often than playing my own.

    SOMEONE tell me why this song (by Bowie) is not available to buy at all. Despite being the best song on the “Godzilla” soundtrack in 1998 or so.
    It was the lead song. I have a cd. All green and monstery. With this song on it. This is one of the most influential songs of my early life.
    -Spotify NO
    -ITunes NO
    YouTube as an upload you could definitely never ever capture.
    Yes.

    But legally. WhyTF is this wonderful song not available to the majority of people ?

  5. F.... N....

    Jojo Rabbit!!!

  6. U.... R....

    It was on the soundtrack for NHL video game! This was like 17-25 years ago? It was the opening video when you put the game in. It was the best! Maybe NHL 99

  7. G.... H....

    I just discovered you today, I feel very gifted to have done so. Like your songs and lyrics , and of course your sound

    just to hear your band is special now listen these guy believe in you

  15. B.... D....

    Have to laugh at all the millennials who think this or any cover of HEROES is better than the Bowie original. That's what you get growing up in a musically barren generation.

  16. T.... ....

    The 90s was special, in that generation there was no internet, and then POOF!!!

    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... nothing will drive them away
    We can be heroes, just for one day
    We can be us, just for one day
    I, I 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, 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.

    All these comments about whether this version is better than Bowie's. Just silly. Just like people talking about Nirvana's cover of Man Who Sold The World. Or whether Jeff Buckley's or some christian schoolchild's version is better than Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
    Bowie's IS the song. Then the cover versions can fight it out amongst themselves. They didn't write the song, didn't make it well known, all they did is come along afterward and play someone else's song.
    Personally, I prefer Metallica's version.
    Heroes was co-written by Brian Eno, BTW.

  25. R.... D....

    I invite any and all to listen to widespreads cover of this.

  26. E.... S....

    This cover was AMAZING!! But I think I'm gonna have to give it to the original...YES BOWIE

  27. r.... ....

    Better than Bowie!!! Not trying to offend!!

  28. J.... G....

    This must be the best cover ever?

  29. �.... ....

    QUE MÚSICA TOP DO CARALHO!!!!!!

    �.... ....

    Verdade vc tem bom gosto !

  32. M.... R....

    Que hermosa canción. La puedo escuchar. Muchas veces es especctacular su letra david bowie fue un genio al escribir este tema. Me gustaria ser héroe por un dia para alguien tal vez algun dia

  33. A.... P....

    I loved!

  34. a.... r....

    I dedicate this to those lives who were lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and to those who joined the US Armed Forces after that infamous event.

    a.... r....

    never forget the japanese heroes

    a.... r....

    The Japanese are this true hero be proud and never regret for victory is within

  35. S.... h....

    Why is this song not on Apple music

    T.... B....

    Its not on Amazon music aswell

    T.... B....

    sierra martinez Amazon Music is crap.

    It’s not even on Spotify!

    T.... B....

    @Trigger Bear 😂

    T.... B....

    It’s on iTunes but only if you buy the whole album. Ridiculous...

  38. T.... O....

    I'm sorry, but I dig Bowie's lifestyle and I just can't come around his music, it's just not matching the bump when it comes to his singing. This cover did some justice (not to sound harsh) and I mean no offense to any Bowie fans out there.

  39. i.... c....

    "And in that moment,I swear,we were infinite "

  40. S.... H....

    Exquisite.

  41. B.... S....

    Stranger Things made me remember this song, but Moulin Rouge made me love it. It's just GOOD.

  43. d.... b....

  73. L.... ....
