Yesterday’s Hero Lyrics by Ignatius Jones

Strictly Ballroom (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1]
When I walk down the street
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 goin', buddy?
When you walked on by, I thought I'd say hello"
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "Haven't I seen your face before?
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door?
Weren't you on television every night?
Haven't I seen you 'round?"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
When you walk down the street
If you know me, then pass me by
If you wonder what I'm doin' don't ask me why
I don't read the news
When you walk down the street
If you're sorry then don't feel bad
If you followed my story then just be glad
You ain't in my shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
Yesterday's hero
[Chorus]
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero
That's all that I'm gonna be
Take a look at me, yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero
That's 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
