Only Heroes Live Forever
Ruthy is an artist, shes got oceans in her head
Doctor says you really shouldnt leave her alone
She throws her books -- all scattered cross the room
Graham greene sprawled out beside the rolling stones
Daddy doesnt understand but goes on paying the bills
Mother clears up after baby girls spills
One break in communication and those clouds begin to fly
While ruthy goes on bleeding when is she going to realize
Only heroes live forever...
Tony is a dancer hes got to be one step ahead
Watch him show the new moves to the girls he meets
He bumps for the crowd at his apartment window
Rolls his hands in perfect time with his feet
Opens his shirt right to the waist
Throws on sun tan oil like wallpaper paste
Carries a copy of the carpetbaggers he thinks that makes him cool
Looks you straight in the mouth as he tells you youre just another fool
But only heroes live forever...
Me Im an actor stickpaint on my face
Alibis in my pocket and costumes in my case
I use emotions I make them my tools
For I know well that rocknroll is in the hands of fools
And only heroes live forever...

Heroes Live Forever
You are the light that shines in everyone
The truth that's there for all to see
You are the voice that speaks to everyone
You're the heroes we'd all like to be
You live the dreams that lie within our soul
With a passion that cannot be denied
You bring the whole world together as one
And we'll always be by your side
And all the world will join in celebration
And all the world will share the joy you bring
And all the power, the hope and inspiration
In all their glory the nations all will sing
Heroes live forever
Heroes live forever
Always we'll remember
Heroes live forever
Since the dawn of history
(Since the dawn of history)
In searching for our destiny
(In searching for our destiny)
To be the best that we can be
(To be the best that we can be)
Heroes...
Heroes live forever
Heroes live forever
Always we'll remember
Heroes live forever
Heroes live forever
Heroes live forever
Always we'll remember
Heroes live forever...

Your Hero
The heroes of the masses they live for their renown
And the masses create their heroes and then drag their heroes down
And the masses are unpredictable they change from day to day
And some of their heroes like the Autumn flowers are quick to fade away.
Yet there are millions of unsung heroes and they live on every street
And every day a hero I feel privileged to meet
True heroes male and female yet by the masses unsung
The World is full of heroes of heroes old and young.
Some heroes of the masses are arrogant and proud
And their egos over-swollen from the adulation of the crowd
But give me the unsung heroes who go their own quiet way
Who out of the kindness of their hearts perform one good deed every day.
Many heroes of the masses are not heroes to me
Though every day I walk the street some true hero I do see
Your hero is chauffeur driven and drinks the most expensive wine
And you can have your hero but your hero isn't mine.

I Don't Want To Live Forever
Frank Sinatra died today
I came home and found my mama crying
The TV had so much to say
Somehow I was thinking about dying
I'm seventeen and thinking about dying
I don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
I see my daddy in his chair
He sits there night and day
The TV still looks good as new
Daddy's old and gray
And it's scaring me to death
I don't want to go that way
I don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because your heart's still beating
It don't mean that you're alive
Don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
Gonna live while I'm alive
You can see the glass half-empty
You can see the glass half-full
But all I see are shattered dreams
Around this neighborhood
My brother's girlfriend's pregnant
And today she's moving in
My friends all play the lottery
And swear one day they'll win
I'm seventeen, I'm thinking about dying
I'm seventeen, no way I'm dying
Don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because you're breathing
It don't mean that you're alive
Don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
Don't want to live forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Don't want to live forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever

Heroes & Friends
I aint live forever but Ive lived e-nough
I grew up with cowboys I watched on t-v
And Ive learned to be gentle and Ive learned to be tough
My friends and I sometimes pre-tended to be
Ive found only two things that last to the end
Years have gone by but now and again
One is your heroes the other your friends
My heart rides the range with my heroes and friends
Your heroes will help you find good in yourself
Your friends wont forsake you for somebody else.
Theyll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin
And thats how it goes with heroes and friends

Forever
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
When we were young
With time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live
For a thousand years
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
Youll never know
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever
And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings
With time to kill
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
You live and learn
Some people never take the time to try
The way you lives the way you die
The stuff of lifes in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

Jelly Belly
Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was
Were nowhere, were nowhere, were nowhere to be
Nowhere, were nowhere, were nowhere to see
Living makes me sick
So sick I wish Id die
Down in the belly of the beast
I cant lie
Youre nowhere, youre nowhere, youre nowhere to be
Nowhere, youre nowhere, youre nowhere to see
Theres nothing left to do
Theres nothing left to feel
Doesnt matter what you want, so
To make yourself feel better
You make it so youll never
Give in to your forevers
And live for always
And forever, forever, youre forever to be
Forever, forever, youre forever to me

Girls
Some girls got it some girls dont
Some girls do it some girls wont
Some girls want to run your life
Some want to sink your boat
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Make you break you girls dont care
Wake you shake you get you there
Some girls like to play it cool
Some like to kiss and tell
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Its not new but its gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Cant live with them
Cant live without them
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Girls in movies girls in space
Girls on t.v. girls that race
Some girls want to tie you down
Some girls dont want to know
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Its not true but its gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Cant live with them
Cant live without them
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Some girls got it some girls dont
Some girls do it some girls wont
Some girls want to run your life
Some want to sink your boat
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Girls- sweet sweet sweet girls

Talkin' 'bout The Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever)
(everyone wants to live forever)
Imagination, that's the way that it seems
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard.
If i'd lived a thousand times before
And if i'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live for ever, whoah
The feeling in my head starts heading south
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around
Everyone wants to live forever
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoah

Voice In The Wilderness
(b gibb, b stivers, a kendall, s rucker, m bonelli)
Its another woman
Hey, it could be me, it could be anyone
Yeah, she got the energy to blind the sun
And she make me glow
She sparkle and I see the light
I miss her every moment she is out of sight
Shes a necessity
My baby keeps rolling me
Watch her glide
This girl is bonafide
Shes got what causes chaos
Shes got the power that I cant explain
Blowing through each other like a hurricane
Look at me, Im twenty-seven stories high
There may be somebody else and,
I dont want to live like that
No, I dont want to live like that
Dont want to live like that
No, I dont want to live like that, live like that
Just another voice in the wilderness
Stick with me forever
Cross my heart and hope to die
You should give me everything and so will i
And the world will know
I say I will not lie
You know more lovers than one for some become a necessity
My baby keeps rolling me
Live on stage
Exposing my jealous rage
Life can be complicated
I give you something you can talk about
Love is like a prison and you cant get out
These things are hard to find
You say the world is flat but
I dont want to live like that
No, I dont want to live like that
Dont want to live like that
No, I dont want to live like that, live like that
Just another voice in the wilderness
Walking through the fire
Running like a river til the race is won
Im risking everything to be someone
I will stick by you
We know but we will not fail
Lifting of the spirit and the flesh prevails
And the fight is on
This love, it keeps rolling on
Watch me fly
Into the clear blue sky
This is the age of wonder
I am the one
I dont want to live like that
No, I dont want to live like that
I dont want to live like that, live like that
Just another voice in the wilderness

Who Wants To Live Forever
Words and music by brian may
Theres no time for us
Theres no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
Theres no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Betcha Say That
Betcha say that
Betcha say that
Betcha say that
To all the girls
You say youll be my knight in shining armour
Well run away and live a life of glamour
You say for me youll be true blue
You say you want me everywhere beside you
And that you just cannot live without me no
You say I love you
I betcha say that to all the girls
Betcha say that
You say you wish I wasnt so defensive
Yout try to kiss me but Im apprehensive
No, no, I just dont believe you
You say you feel as though youre going crazy
Your head is spinning and your eyes are hazy
You say I want you
I betcha say that to all the girls
Betcha say that, betcha say that
I betcha say that to all the girls
Betcha say that
I just dont know why
I dont believe you
But I want you anyway
You say you wanna fall in love forever
Youll get place where we can be together
No more secret rendezvous
You say youre tired of always feelin lonely
And that you want me for your one and only
You say I wanna marry you
I betcha say that to all the girls
I betcha say that
I betcha say that
Its your favorite line and you think its gonna work every time
Ooh baby
Betcha say that line to all the girls
B-b-b-baby
I betcha say that, say that
I betcha use that line on all the girls
You think I was born yesterday
You think with me that you can have your way
Ooh baby, betcha say that line, to all the girls
Betcha say that

Dreaming Of Summer
*
Woke up on a manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to london
So broke I could make you cry
When you get right down to it
Theres really nothing in it
I got a copy of the evening paper
If theres a job I will apply
The dhs says its now or never
This is a case of do or die
When it comes right down to it
Ive got to struggle through it
**
Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heroes dont fade away, theyre forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heroes dont fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever
Took a walk down to soho
Ive got t.v. on my mind
It says these days you have it easy
Oh lord, I must be blind
When it comes right down to it
I can see right on through it
I really love my old lady
Much more grief she cant take
Wish I could take her somewhere fancy
I still need that lucky break
When it comes right down to it
Theres really nothing in it
Repeat **
And Im dreaming of summer
Of just me and you now
But a love with no money
How long will it ring true
One big city smells like another
I get lost in this maze
When I get home should I lie
The bottles gone Im in a daze
When it comes right down to it
Ive got to struggle through it
Things look bleak out of this window
Sometimes I wanna run away
And the light fades down this tunnel
It merges into another day
Repeat *

Heroes
I-I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins-like dolphins can swim
Though nothing-nothing will keep us together
We can beat them-for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes-just for one day
I-I will be king
And you-you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes-just for one day
We can beat them-just for one day
I-I can remember
Standing-by the wall
And the guns-shot above our heads
And we kissed-as though nothing could fall
And the shame-was on the other side
Oh we can beat them-forever and ever
Then we could be heroes-just for one day
We can be heroes (3X)
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We're nothing

Heroes Are Hard To Find
Written by christine mcvie.
Girls you know
When youre in the mood
(in the mood)
You may meet a man
Cant do anything good
(nothing good)
But youve got to pity him
And ty to understand
(understand)
That a hero, a hero is so hard to find
When he takes you
For his love
(for his love)
And he tries to tell you
That there isnt any other
(dont believe him)
Oh, he may kiss you
And tell you hell miss you
(such a shame)
But dont forget, a hero is so hard to find
When he says hello
Dont forget theyre all the same
(you know theyre all the same)
You may end up sitting all alone
And with yourself to blame
Oh, dont you let him
So when he tells you
Youve got diamonds in your eyes
(hes just lying)
Dont get carried away
Cause you know hes selling you lies
(hes just lying)
So when you get the feeling
The man youve gots no good
Hes no good
Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find
Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find
Heroes, heroes are hard to find...

She Doesnt Live Here Anymore
We grew up together, weve been here forever.
Barefoot in the summer, cold in stormy weather.
She taught me all there is, like magic and love,
Lots of forgotten words
But now, she doesnt live here anymore.
Shes off and shes gone, she doesnt live here anymore.
Im sorry thats all there is to it, Im sorry thats all
She dressed just like a painter, a female street picasso
And i, I will remember the heaven in her laughter.
And the scent of her sweet perfume when we made love
Under an august moon
But now, she doesnt live here anymore.
Shes off and shes gone, she doesnt live here anymore.
Shes gone since long, so long, she doesnt live here anymore.
She took off and left home, she doesnt live here anymore.
Im sorry thats all there is to it, Im sorry thats all. thats all.

Ill Never Break Your Heart
Spoken
Baby, I know youre hurting
Right now you feel you could never love again
But all Im asking is for a chance
To prove that I love you
From the first day, that I saw your smiling face
Honey I knew that we would be together forever
Ooh, when I asked you out, you said no but I found out
Darlin that youd been hurt
You felt that youd never love again
Bridge
I deserve a try honey just once
Give me a chance and Ill prove thats all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But honey hes nothing like me
Chorus
Ill never break your heart
Ill never make you cry
Id rather die
Than live without you
Ill give you all of me honey thats no lie
Ill never break your heart
Ill never make you cry
Id rather die
Than live without you
Ill give you all of me honey thats no lie
As time rolls by you will get to know me
A little more better, girl thats the way love goes
And I know youre afraid to let your feelings show
And I understand but girl its time to let go
Bridge
Chorus
Ill never break your heart
No way (no way)
Girl Ill never make you cry (make you cry)
I swear (I swear, honey I swear)
Ill never break your heart
(I would never do that to you baby)
Oh just give me a chance Ill show you how much I love you
Id rather die than live without you
Ill give you all of me (I would give you the world, if youre mine girl)
Ill never break your heart
Ill never make you cry
Id rather die than live without you
Ill give you all of me honey thats no lie
(oh I miss you I want you I need you in my life)

White Boys And Heroes
We're in the movies
We're heroes
We sparkle at night
Love among puppets
And one day
I'll pull all the strings
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
Was my wife the doctor
The patient
Or something obscene
A history of nothing
Like a see-through song in disguise
Heroes are tough
And have no time
For women and boys
I won't cry
Till this thing is over
And someone agrees
White boys and heroes
White boys and heroes
See boys say I'm mayhem
White boys and heroes
We have no time for celebration
We have no time left at all
White boys and heroes
