Bay City Rollers - Yesterday's hero 1977

Bay City Rollers - Yesterday's hero 1977

When we walk down the street
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, "Why 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 around??

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!
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??

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!
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!

(Instrumental)

We don't wanna be!
Yesterday's hero!
Yesterday's hero!
Noooo, NO!

We don't wanna be!
Yesterday's hero! (No!)
Yesterday's hero!
Noooo, NO!

We don't wanna be!
Yesterday's hero!
Yesterday's hero!
Noooo, NO!

John Paul Young wrote the song. BCR covered the song. Both versions are great if you ask me.

The singer was lipsynching I am convinced. I know this was played as a studio version but his voice is different compared to the other songs he sang. Maybe this was inspired Milli Vanilli
