Gabriel, Peter - 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

    This song is amazing and so chilling! I knew the David Bowie version but this is on another level with the 🎻! It kinda sounds like minimalistic composers: Steve Reich or Philip Glass which i also love!

  8. Z.... O....

    RIP KOBE & ALL THOSE WHO PERISHED IN THE CRASH💔

    Lone Survivor did it better! What's a Stranger Things?

  10. C.... J....

    “There's something I've been wanting to talk to you both about. I know this is a difficult conversation, but I care about you both very much. And I know that you care about each other very much, and that's why it's important that we set these boundaries moving forward so we can build an environment where we all feel comfortable, trusted, and open to sharing our feelings.
    Feelings. Jesus. The truth is, for so long I'd forgotten what those even were. I've been stuck in one place. In a cave, you might say. A deep, dark cave. And then I left some Eggos out in the woods and you came into my life. For the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you. Like you're pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night, making triple-Decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching Westerns together before we doze off.

    But I know you're getting older, growing, changing. I guess, if I'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So I think maybe that's why I came in here, to try and make stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just not how life works. It's moving, always moving, whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad. And sometimes, it's surprising. Happy.

    So you know what? Keep on growing up kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em. When life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. But, please, if you don't mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.”

    You heard this song on Stranger Things a show that took place in the 80's that you watched in the 2000's, I heard this song on a Bowie album in the 80's that was released in '77.

  65. J.... H....

    Peter Gabriel What disgusting imitation.

  66. J.... H....

    You don't get to David Bowie's heels.

  67. J.... H....

    You will never be like David Bowie no matter how much you steal his songs.

  68. J.... H....

    What a bad imitation.

  69. J.... H....

    ¡¡¡Boooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

  70. J.... H....

    What a cheaper copy.

  71. J.... H....

    steal songs.

  72. J.... H....

    This song is by David Bowie

    They could’ve added this song into Tony Stark’s funeral for an even more emotional ending. The song fits

    I hate how long it took me to know this is a David Bowie cover. Like it was down below, i feel like a moron.

  77. E.... H....

    The little budgie just slashed its wrists..I had to go play Motorhead's cover of Heroes to helo it through to ER. Pete, really. This sucks.

  78. i.... E....

    No matter what else it’s in, I will always see this as the Lone Survivor song

  79. C.... ....

    RIP Pops...

  80. B.... S....

    Stranger Things brought me here today. Lone Survivor is what keeps me coming back. God bless and protect our men and women in all branches of service. I may not support war, but I’ll always support our warriors.

  81. E.... S....

    Too bad Hopper's stupid fake out death ruins the emotional weight this song had when it played in season one

  82. I.... L....

    This brought me to tears at the end of Lone Survivor......

  83. S.... M....

    3991 km ciler burdamıyız

  84. N.... ....

    This was played at my fathers funeral

  85. K.... S....

    Here because this is my favorite song from The Stranger Things soundtrack and because I needed a good cry.

    PS the scene of this in the movie when they think Will is dead gives me chills every single time.

  86. m.... a....

    İf you are here for operation red wings you are the man

  87. L.... L....

    Am I the only person not here because of stranger things?

    L.... L....

  88. D.... ....

    I forgot about this song. It should have been played at Bowie's funeral. I hope it is played at mine.

  89. M.... B....

    I can not understand how you missed this song from the ending of the episode 3 from season 1. I immediatly knew that this could be a good soundtrack for my wedding movies :D

  90. t.... p....

    david bowie's version is better

  91. B.... I....

    This song will never be related to stranger things in any way, it should be associated with one thing only and that’s Lone survivor if u think other wise your the scum of the world

    B.... I....

    Whut abawt Regular Show?

    B.... I....
