Heroes (David Bowie cover) Lyrics

I, I wish I could swim
Just like a dolphin, like dolphins can swim
And nothing, is gonna keep us together
And we can beat them, for ever and ever
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you're gonna be my queen
Yeah but nothing, is gonna drive us away
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day
And we're gonna be ourselves, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
When I was standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And then the guns, they shot over our heads (over our heads)
And then we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
Well then the shame, yeah, the shame was on their side
But we're gonna beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

Cover art for Heroes (David Bowie cover) lyrics by Oasis

this aint that good of a song originally, but the live acoustic version done by noel is amazing. i never thought that a david bowie song would turn out soo good.

What?! Heroes "ain't that good of a song originally"??

A few points to make:

1) That sentence doesn't even make sense! 2) Heroes by David Bowie is one of the best songs ever. Ok, maybe you don't like it but the general consensus is that its a 'classic'. Its up there with Imagine, Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, Satisfaction, etc. Which must be kept in mind for point 3. 3) This is a terrible version of the song. And I am massive fan of Oasis. Its for this reason that i can see they should never have gone near it. Its too big a song. Even Liam was sensible enough to disown it. 4) I bet you probably think that Ocean Colour Scene are better than the Beatles.

Why don't you calm down. Anyways, they're great songs, but oddly enough I like the Wallflowers version best. Strange huh?

I think Noel's voice doesn't fit with this song. I love Oasis, it's just my advice...

An excellent finish to one of my favorite singles. And I do think Noel's voice is a bit off, but the guitar work is great. The original is unbeatable though, it ranks in my top ten favorite songs ever. David Bowie's vocals are hypnotizingly good.
