Yesterday's Hero - Lyrics - Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the mid 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period , they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir.

We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers 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, Hi," 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 A yesterday's hero Is all that we're be 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 wonder what I'm doing 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 ev'ry 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 A yesterday's hero Is all that We're be 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. (Spoken: Ladies and gentlemen the Bay City Rollers. Everybody move back, move back please, here you go, back, back) We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero No, no We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero, no yesterday's hero No, no We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero No, no
