Bay City Rollers – Yesterday’s Hero (1976)

Hellsichtiger Song aus der Hochphase der Roller-Mania, die ein Jahr später vorbei war.

See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven’t I seen that face somewhere a long time ago?
When we walk down the street
See the stranger who says, „Hello!“
With a, „How you going, Buddy,
When you walked on by I thought I’d say hello~“

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 ev’ry night?
Haven’t I seen you round?

We don’t wanna be! A yesterday’s hero
Yesterday’s hero! That’s all we’ll be!

We don’t wanna be! A yesterday’s hero
And yesterday’s hero, is all that
We’re gonna be if we don’t get together
Make a new plan and be constantly better
All that we’ll be if we don’t get together now

When we walk down the street
If you know me, then pass me by
If you’re wonderin‘ what I’m doin‘
don’t ask me why, I don’t read the news

When we walk down the street
If you’re sorry then don’t feel bad
If you followed my story, I’m just as 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

(War übrigens ursprünglich ein australischer Hit für John Paul Young.)
