Yesterdays Hero

Written by: Musker/Bugatti

Only released on: Platinium Rare

Steve Priest: On HSH I saw a post about Yesterdays Hero and how it was wrttin for the Baby's. This is not so. Paul Nicholas demoed it and gave it to David Walker to see if any of his acts would be interested in doing it for a movie. It sounded like a good idea at the time until I tried to sing it. The first verse was ok but the second verse was lame. Nicholas heard what we had done with it and said it was too "Heavy." After spending countless hours in the studio we dropped it.
I don't know how the Baby's heard it but they must have come to the same conclusion as I with the lyrics and re wrote them. It was a minor hit in the States called Back on My Feet Again

We play for the fun, and we run for the glory
And it all seems to happen so fast
You used to love me, but now you ignore me
And my name is a thing of the past
I didn't ask you for fortune and fame
I was happy to do with the love
You made me a hero, and I played the game
Well I gave all I had
But I guess it just wasn't enough
Now listen to them say

Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)
Well you call me the best
now you call me a yesterday's hero

Have you seen a tiger, when he is in danger
How he runs from the scene of the crime
Well I didn't listen, to my intuition
It was there in the back of my mind
I guess I should have seen it coming
Well it's happened before
And it was only a matter of time
Now everybody say

Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)
Well you call me the best
now you call me a yesterday's hero
(Yesterday's hero) yesterday's hero (yesterday's hero)

We play for the fun, and we run for the glory
And it all seems to happen so fast
You used to love me, but now you ignore me
And my name is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Now listen to them say

Here he comes, a Yesterday's Hero (2x)
I feel the best
Now I won't be a Yesterday's Hero
(Yesterday's hero) yesterday's hero (yesterday's hero)
Ya call me yesterday's hero (yesterday's hero) (till fade)
