Redskins - Take No Heroes lyrics

rate me

Somebody told me today

Let slip in a casual way

Nobody seemed to care anycase

I didn't realise, I turned away

Somebody told me today

And though my mind was miles away

Slowly the pain welled inside

As I realised he'd died

Take no heroes, only inspiration

And if you learn nothing from his life

Learn this from his death

The man may die but his dream survives

I headed out, walked the town

Staring sick & lonely

Strange faces passed

And they didn't know ...

I wanted to tell them so but

Oh the rain beat hard & cold

A finer truth hit hard

Took hold

Take no heroes, only inspiration

And if you learn nothing from his life

Learn this one thing

The man may die

The man may die but his dream survives

Take no heroes

Take no heroes

Take no heroes

No way I could explain

No one to explain it to anyway

But a tearful misery's a sorry legacy

And this is not the time for sad obituaries

The rain beat hard and cold

Learn this thing

Take no heroes

Take no heroes

Take no heroes

Take no heroes

The man may die

The man may die

The man may die

But he's dream survives

Take no heroes
