Sing Like Heroes

You know I think that last night we had a really good time
This morning when I woke up I had laughter lines
And all my smiles are made of bits and bobs we said
This glass of water tastes sweet it's quenching my thirst
Although my throat hurts I want to go to work
I want to pay my way
It brings a smile to my face
I supposes this is just the way it goes
It goes

That I want to sing like Janis Joplin did
Sing like Jeff Buckley did
Sing it’s a beautiful thing
It’s a beautiful thing that my heroes did
That my heroes do

Because they opened up my eyes to the ways of the wise
And it's opened up my heart like a Kinder Surprise
Who’d have thought it was wrapped in foil
To stop it getting spoiled
You know the pain has gone away, the love well it stayed
And the amount you receive's the amount that you give
The sum that you get paid's the number of souls you enslave
But I suppose that is just the way it goes
Hey it goes

That I want to sing like Kurt Kobain did
Sing like John Lennon did
Sing it’s a beautiful thing
It’s a beautiful thing that my heroes did
My heroes do

And my heroes change
Change with my needs
They nurture and feed
They are here right now
Wearing a thin disguise
I don’t want to look like them
I want to see through their eyes

I want to sing like Robert Johnson did
Want to sing like Alex Chilton did
Sing like Elliott Smith
Sing like my heroes do
Sing sing sing
I just want to sing
