Yesterday's Hero

When I walk down the streets

See the people who stop and stare and say

Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago

When I walk down the streets

See the stranger who says 'why, hi'

With a 'how you goin', buddy'

When you walked on by I thought I'd say hallo

They say: Haven't I seen your face before

Weren't you the boy that used to live next door

Weren't you on television every night

Haven't I seen you round

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

And yesterday's hero is all that I'm gonna be if I don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if I don't get together now

When you walk down the streets

If you know me, then pass me by

If you wonder what I'm doing

Don't ask me why I don't read the news

When you walk down the streets

If you're sorry then don't feel bad

If you followed my story

Then just be glad you ain't in my shoes

Because haven't you seen my face before

Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door

Yes, I was on television every night

Haven't you seen me round

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll be

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero

And yesterday's hero is all that I'm gonna be if I don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if I don't get together now

Yesterday's hero, yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero, yesterday's hero
