Lyrics
We've had a lovely, lovely evening
But you could be mean
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
That is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
What you'd say? I say
I, well, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
What'd you say?
And I, I would be king
And you, you would be my queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can beat them
For ever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns
The guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame
It fell on the other side
We can beat them
For ever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day
What'd you say?
We can be heroes, I say
We can be heroes, I say
We can be heroes, what'd you say?
We can be heroes
Oh, though nothing
And no-one will help us
Then maybe we're lying
Then you'd better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, we can be heroes
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, we can be heroes
Yeah, oh-oh-oh-ohh
Just for one day
