| Black Grape – Kelly's Heroes Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Been wondering what that song was about for years: The lyrics to single Kelly's Heroes had to be changed for the album. The original line `Don't talk to me about heroes, most of these men smoke cocaine' had to be changed to `Don't talk to me about heroes, most of these men sink like subs'. Why? Because the song also contains the lines `Jesus was a black man, No Jesus was bat-man'. Recording execs were worried that this might be taken to imply that Jesus smoked cocaine. Black Grape always sang the `cocaine' version of the lyrics live, including on MTV, where they were edited out. PEACE | |
