If You Have Your Own Heroes

If you have your own heroes well that suits me fine But your sort of heroes will never be mine For you sort of heroes they chase a football And stories of their greatness you often recall. Suppose we must differ for to disagree Those ordinary to you they are heroes to me My heroes don't play sports and their praises unsung Sometimes hero worship is wasted on the young. We used to be good mates but that seems long ago And apart from each other we did seem to grow But our different ideas will not bring us to blows We go our own way that is life I suppose. 'Tis great lubrication for the tongue the beer Such rubbish spoken in pubs one is obliged to hear We make heroes of sports stars though they seem ordinary Though we all look at life one might say differently. If you have your own heroes with me that's okay We all look at life in a different way We used to be good mates but that is in the past And few things in life ever do seem to last.
