Yesterday's Hero

When I walk down the streets

See the people who stop and stare

And say, haven't I seen that face somewhere

A long time ago

When I walk down the street

See the stranger who says, "why hi"

With a, "how you going, buddy" when you walked on by

I thought I'd say hello

They say, haven't I seen your face before?

Weren't you the boy who used to live next door?

Weren't you on television every night?

Haven't I seen you 'round?

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be

If I don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if I don't get together now

When you walk down the streets

If you know me, then pass me by

If you wonder what I'm doing, don't ask me why

I don't read the news

When you walk down the streets

If you're sorry then don't feel bad

If you've followed my story then just be glad

You ain't in my shoes

Because haven't you seen my face before?

Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door?

Yes, I was on television every night?

Haven't you seen me round?

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be

If I don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if I don't get together now

Ooh, ah

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Oh

Take a look at yesterday's newspaper

Oh, oh

Yesterday's hero
