David Bowie – Heroes (live)
David Bowie – Heroes (live)
You, You can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, And that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, And that is that
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Yea, We can be Heroes
Just for one day
What d’you say, I say
I
I wish you could swim
Like dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will drive them away!
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, Just for one day
What d’you say, I say
I, I will be king
And you, You will be my queen
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them, For ever and ever
We can be Heroes, Just for one day
I, I can remember [I remember]
Standing, By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads [over our heads]
And we kissed, As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
we can beat them, For ever and ever
we can be Heroes, Just for one day
What d’you say, I say
We can be Heroes, I say
We can be Heroes, I say, I say
We can be Heroes, Just for one day
We can be Heroes, But We’re nothing
And no one can help us
Maybe we’re lying
Then you better not stay
We can be Heroes , Just for one day

a new, space-themed spoken-word album, Seeking Major Tom.
The two-disc set features a laundry list of popular musicians, from Lyle Lovett and Peter Frampton to Sheryl Crow and members of the prog-rock bands Asia and King Crimson.
Seeking Major Tom tells the story of the fictional astronaut in David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and what happens after he steps out of the space capsule.
At 80, Shatner shows no signs of slowing down. Where does he find the energy for a third album?
Well, as you get older, you become more sensitized to the fact of how ephemeral life is.
So that relishing life, every moment, like talking to you right now is the most enjoyable thing I can imagine because it’s what I’m doing right now. That’s the way I think we should feel.

The spaceman altered some of the lyrics of Bowie’s 1969 version, singing “Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing left to do.” The Bowie version goes “… and there’s nothing I can do.” And instead of “Take your protein pills and put your helmet on,” it became, “Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on.”
