Hero-worship leads to feet-of-clay - and if you don't want your idols to fall... Don't look too closely in the cold light of day - you'll find they're just human after all... I've learned the hard way after too many years and too many broken dreams! I've found the real heroes are the ones who survive when their world comes apart at the seams.... CHORUS: So I'll have no more heroes, no more knights in armour to shine.... I'm keeping my feet on solid ground this time! I'll have no more heroes - you're the only real thing I see... and after you - there'll be no more heroes for me.... and after you -no more heroes for me!  I've bowed to fame, I've been impressed by a name and I've found that it just ain't right... and if I'm no longer a part of that game, it's you who have shown me the light. Oh lord it was so easy just to run with the crowd and follow the ones who deceive... but it takes real courage to stand up and fight for the things that you truly believe. CHORUS: So I'll have no more heroes, no more knights in armour to shine.... I'm keeping my feet on solid ground this time! I'll have no more heroes - you're the only real thing I see... and after you - there'll be no more heroes for me.... and after you -no more heroes for me! Show me the broken spirit that falls - but then rises again... and show me the will to reach for the stars through the anger and the pain.... Show me the love of the human heart that answers another's call and I'll show you my hero and he's one that will never fall... CHORUS: So I'll have no more heroes, no more knights in armour to shine.... I'm keeping my feet on solid ground this time! I'll have no more heroes - you're the only real thing I see... and after you - there'll be no more heroes for me.... and after you... No More Heroes. Lyrics & Music: © Rosie Hardman, 1985 |
