Heroes - Lindisfarne

And to me everyone of them was a hero

standing in the cold cold morning light

every single one of them was a hero

standing up for their rights.

And don’t let no-body tell you no different

no newspaper phoney or friend

'cos when the book has finally been written

you know the Heroes always beat the villians in the end.

With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud

no tin pot tyrant, no self-made giant,

nothing’s gonna stop us now.

And the traitors who’s heads were turned

and who’s loyalty were misplaced

don’t have to say one single word

'cos it’s written all over their face

and the leader will come in the last

and the last will win the race.

And the order will all be changing

when the Heroes finally take their rightful place.

With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud

no tin pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant,

nothing’s gonna stop us now.

One swallow don’t make a summer

one battle don’t win no war

one roll by the drummer

will soon settle the score

and the Heroes will come out fighting

like they’ve always done

shoulder to shoulder together,

line by line 'till the final victory is won.

With head held high and proud, stand up and sing it loud

no tin pot tyrant, no crack-pot giant,

nothing’s gonna stop us now.
