Weak Become Heroes

Turn left up the street

Nothing but grey concrete and deadbeats

Grab something to eat, Maccie D's or KFC

Only one choice in the city

Done voicing my pity

Now let's get to the nitty gritty

Tune reminds me of my first E

Like unique, still 16 and feeling horny

Point to the sky, feel free

Sea of people, all equal

Smiles in front and behind me

Swim in the deep blue sea

Corn fields sway lazily

Broad smiles, all easy

Where ya from, what ya on and what's ya story?

Mesmorising tones, rising pianos

This is my zone so stop cloning

Pick paper, scissors or stone

'Cause me and you are the same

I've known you all my life, I don't know your name

The name's European Bob, sorted, anyway

Let's have a dance, now see ya later

Pleased to meet ya

Likewise, a pleasure

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion

All the commotion becomes floating emotions

Same piano loops over

Arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open

See in soft focus

Chatting to this bloke in the toilets

Dizzy new heights, blinded by the lights

These people are for life

It's all back to his place at the end of the night

Yo, they could settle wars with this

If only they will

Imagine the world's leaders on pills

And imagine the morning after

Wars, causing disaster

Don't talk to me, I don't know ya

But this ain't tomorrow and for now, I still love ya

Hours fly over

Sail round, diamonds and pearls

Never seen so many fit girls

Discover new worlds

Look at my watch, can't focus

Last two hours are lost

Every move fills me with lust

All of life's problems, I just shake off

Yo, mad little events happen

Things map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets

Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us

Geezers on Es and first timers

Kids on wiz, darlings on Charlie

All come together for this party

All races, many faces

From places you never heard of

Where ya from, what's ya name and what ya want?

Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones

The tribal drums

The sun's rising

We all smile

We all sing

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder

I realise five years went by and I'm older

Memories smolder, winter's colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

The road shines and the rain washes away

Same Chinese take away selling shit in a tray

It's dark all 'round, I walk down

Same sights, same sounds

New beats, though

Solid concrete under my feet

No surprises, no treats

The world stands still as my mind sloshes around

The washing up bowl in my crown

My life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standing there, minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Out of respect for Johnnie Walker

Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway, Danny Rampling

And all the people who gave us these times

And to the government, I stick my middle finger up with regards to the Criminal Justice Bill

For all the heroes out and on the way

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing

We were just standing, there minding our own

And it went on and on

We all smile, we all sing

Weak become heroes then the stars align

We all sing, we all sing, sing
