"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 |

I wouldn't call it a happy song at all. The last verse says that the forces keeping the lovers apart are stronger than they are and admits they can only settle for being "safer". (The title is actually supposed to be in quotes; I think that's why.)

I've also heard it said that the people standing at the Berlin Wall were Tony Visconti and his girlfriend, Tony being an excellent producer who worked with Bowie on a load of albums, including The Man Who Sold the World, Young Americans, Scary Montsters and Super Creeps, the Berlin trilogy and his two latest.

I forget who copied this song in the late 90s but they should have left it alone. The original Bowie version is incredible. Love that freaky guitar provided by Robert Fripp! Some songs just shouldn't be covered and this is one of them!
