Heroes - David Bowie

I

I will be king

And you

You will be queen

Though nothing will

Drive them away

We can beat them

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

And you

You can be mean

And I

I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers

And that is a fact

Yes we're lovers

And that is that

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We could steal time

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

For ever and ever

What d'you say I

I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins

Like dolphins can swim

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We can beat them

For ever and ever

Oh we can be Heroes

Just for one day

I

I will be king

And you You will be queen

Though nothing

Will drive them away

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be us

Just for one day

I

I can remember

Standing By the wall

And the guns

Shot above our heads

And we kissed

As though nothing could fall

And the shame

Was on the other side

Oh we can beat them

For ever and ever

Then we can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

We're nothing

And nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying

Then you better not stay

But we could be safer

Just for one day

Confesso que não sou grande fã de David Bowie,mas esta música é banda sonora do filme "Filhos da droga", baseado no livro com o mesmo nome, da Christiane F. Foi um livro/filme que me marcou muito, por mostrar tão detalhadamente como uma miúda tão nova cai no mundo da droga. Quando li este livro deveria ter mais ou menos a idade dela e por isso chocou-me bastante.. e também me chocou saber que ela, que no final do livro se estava a recompor, caiu novamente na heroína passado uns anos.

Além disto tudo, também gosto bastante da letra desta música =)
