Been wondering what that song was about for years: The lyrics to single Kelly's Heroes had to be changed for the album. The original line Don't talk to me about heroes, most of these men smoke cocaine' had to be changed toDon't talk to me about heroes, most of these men sink like subs'. Why? Because the song also contains the lines Jesus was a black man, No Jesus was bat-man'. Recording execs were worried that this might be taken to imply that Jesus smoked cocaine. Black Grape always sang thecocaine' version of the lyrics live, including on MTV, where they were edited out. PEACE
