Weak Become Heroes |
| Turn left up the street |
| Nothing but gray concrete and dead beats |
| Grab something to eat, Maccy D’s or KFC |
| Only one choice in the city |
| Done voice in my pity, now let’s get to the nitty gritty |
| Tune reminds me of my first E |
| Like unique still sixteen and feelin' horny |
| Point to the sky feel free |
| A sea of people, all equal smiles in front and behind me |
| Swim in the deep blue sea, cornfields sway lazily |
| All smiles, all easy, where you from? |
| What you on and what’s your story? |
| Mesmerizing tones, risin' pianos, this is my zone so stop clonin' |
| Pick paper scissors or stone |
| 'Coz me and you are same, I known you all my life |
| I don’t know your name |
| The name’s European Bob, saw it anyway |
| Gonna have dance now, see you later, please to meet you |
| Likewise a pleasure |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| And it went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| And it went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| The night slowly fades and goes slow motion |
| All the commotion becomes floatin' emotions |
| Same piano loops over |
| Arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open |
| I see in soft focus |
| Chattin' 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, they could settle wars with this |
| If only they will imagine, the worlds leaders on pills |
| Then imagine the mornin' after |
| War’s 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 I lost, every move fills me with lust |
| All of life’s problems, I just shake off |
| Mad little events happen, things map out and |
| A few blue maddens alight the toilets |
| Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us, geezers on E’s |
| And first timers, kids on whizz, darlin’s on Charlie |
| All come together for this party |
| All races, many faces from places you never heard of |
| Where you from, what’s your name and what you want? |
| Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones |
| The tribal drums, the sun’s risin' |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| It went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| It went on and on |
| We all smile we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder |
| I realize five years went by, I’m older |
| Memories smoulder, winters colder |
| But that same piano loops over and over and over |
| The road shines and the rain washes away |
| The same Chinese take away, selling shit in a tray |
| It’s dark all round, I walk down same sight |
| Same sounds, new beats though |
| Solid concrete under my feet |
| No surprises, no treats, the world stands still |
| As my mind sloshes round, the washin' up bowl in my crown |
| My life’s been up and down since I walked from that crowd |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| It went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| It went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| Out of respect for Johnny Walker, Apollo, Ford |
| Niki Holloway, Danny Rampling |
| And all the people who gave us these times |
| And to the goverment I stick my middle finger up |
| With regards to the Criminal Justice Bill |
| For all the heroes who came along the way |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
| We were just standin' there mindin' our own |
| It went on and on |
| We all smile, we all sing |
| Weak become heroes, then the stares align |
| We all sing, we all sing, sing |
