lyrics

sort of necessary

the kings are dead, yet still on stage
their shadows larger than life
all said and done, all played and sung
we're settling for 7 to 5
they're covering my walls
and all their words they fill my head
but instead of taking to the streets
I'm binge-reading in bed

when I was young I climbed on trees
with my penknife and my bow
I was on guard and well-prepared
to fight should evil show
I spilled my blood at wounded knee
with the brindled cow, I set sail
I followed jack out on the road
and hunter down the trail

now I wish I could say
I don't need heroes no more
oh I wish I could say
I no longer believe
oh I wish I could say
I don't need heroes no more
oh I wish I could say
that I found my place in reality

it seems to me when lovers sing
all love has long been loved
all the kisses since 1642 BC
have been rated and listed up
now who could swear his love is true
by the moon and stars above
when juliet had romeo
and westley buttercup

and I wish I could say
I don't need heroes no more ...

the other day among the crowd
when neil was up and played
and no one in the stadium
seemed to hear what wasn't said
now bowie's dead and leonard's gone
and I'm still looking up
and wonder while they clap along
when our time will come

and I wish I could say
I don't need heroes no more ...

Not The Ones image

Not The Ones Berlin, Germany

NOT THE ONES aus Ost-Berlin spielen simplen 77-Punk mit Ohrwurmmelodien.
Dem Titel der ersten LP entsprechend versuchen NOT THE ONES seit Jahren, mit ihrer Musik schlechte Laune zu verbreiten, doch Publikum & Kritiker sprechen stets von Gute-Laune-Musik.
Bei Wanda Records heißt es: „Charmant-britische Guitar Punk-Nummern in Richtung Alternative TV & Adverts, versetzt mit Boys/Lurkers-Melodien.“ ... more
