Bruce Foster - Platinum Heroes lyrics

rate me

I remember 1964

There was nothing

Playing on the radio

The scene was folky

Rock and roll was hokey

Seems the world was

At an all time low

Then I saw them

Singing on the TV

Mop top shouting rock

Mersey beat and harmony

[CHORUS]

Platinum heroes

Better than gold

Loved by the world

For the records they sold

Bigger than legends

Greater than dreams

Hiding in jets and black limousines

I hear the music

I hear the screams, oh, yeah

By '66, all the world

Let it's hair grow

I was there at Shea

For the last show

The crowd was screaming

Lonely hearts were dreaming

I hid the tears

As they turned to go

Then the Sergeant

Snapped us to attention

Stood us on our feet

And gave us new directions

[Repeat CHORUS]

We dug for clues back in 1970

They crossed the road but

We just wouldn't let them be

We saw the hangman

Priest and the prisoner

Followed close by the gravedigger

Dropping tabs and playing back

Hidden incantations

Revelations number nine

Counting black carnations

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]<br />
