This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Whatever happened to
Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn
Whatever happened to
Dear old Lenin?
The great Elmyra
And Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to
All of the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
Whatever happened to
All of the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn
Whatever happened to
Dear old Lenin?
The great Elmyra
And Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to
All of the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
Whatever happened to
All of the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Trotsky was a hero because he was a communist who opposed Stalin, after he lost out to Stalin for leadership of the party he fled to Mexico where he hunted down and murdered with an ice pick Elmyr de Hory was exceptional forger of art Lenny Bruce was a brave, outspoken comedian who broke many boundaries of acceptability Sancho Panza is a character in the novel Don Quixote but i dont no why he is hero
One of the greatest british punk anthems.
The lyrics bemoan the lack of heroes in modern life.
I've seen the line "all the shakespearoes" voted into the top ten of worst lyrics in many music magazines, but I love it! Very original.
@Boss Man I seem to remember one of the people associated with "Shakespeare in Love" giving a speech at the Academy Awards when that movie won best picture, saying he'd like to thank "All the heroes, all the Shakespearoes."
@Boss Man For centuries, we celebrate heroes: poets, inventors, philosophes, scientists, etc who changed our life, who fought for our freedoms. In the XXI century, some worship their god and prophet !
Such a catchy tune, never thought of themselves as Punk but rightly deserve their place as one of Britains best
The great Elmyra - Elmyr de Hory, an art forger so good that not only are his works collectible, but people have even tried to forge his forgeries! Dear old Lenny - I think it's dear old Lenin. There was something heroic about Lenin and Trotsky, whether or not you agree with them, they were larger than life figures who tried to remake the world through a combination of idealism and ruthlessness.
Great song definitely a punk band you just have to listen to them in the context of the time. Definitely their anthem I think referring to certain people as heroes when the western world looks at them differently.
lots of people think its dear old lenin but it is actually dear old lenny refering to lenny bruce the comedian who was arrested for several offences such as saying 'cocksucker' on stage.
@harryhazard Yes. DEFINITELY.
Agreed hendrix.
The true heroes are the ones that do it their own way.
Lenny is Lenny Bruce
See Bob Dylan - Lenny Bruce

On the subject of Sancho Panza; he is likely mentioned a hero because in 'Don Quixote', he is fooled into believing that he is the ruler of an Island. Completely unprepared for the post, he still manages to be a just and fair ruler, until he resigns from his post because the responsibilities become too much.
Power easy come upon, used for good, then passed on. Heroic, yes?
