I Don't Want to Be a Hero - Johnny Hates Jazz

I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind Wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be a memory Don't you remember how it used to be When we were so in love We spent the nights in a two-room flat Drinking wine from a coffee cup Making love was so very easy We couldn't get enough I never dreamed there would come a time When you'd think about giving me up I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be a memory I know you've had other lovers But that's all history I got to know that you'll let me be the last one To share your company I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a memory

I ain't know killer either So why does mama cry? She needs to feed her child But she's a child in her father's eyes Ya'll better recognize The power parents recking with Does it make sense to make way for censorship? It's brains we messing with Across the planes we got kids n chains and whips Who live their lives censor less but we couldn't give a shit. I don't wanna lie Cheaters will cheat Some will rather reach jesus Before meeting defeat I think it's easy to see i you be seeing these streets Sometimes my eyes Can't believe what they see, On tv, young like me sent over seas Sent over greed i believe Is this what we need? Yo these guys like me. To add fire to the fuel Life twisted my views Just from flicking the news I gives me the early 21st century blues But we making it threw Make what you make it You can't redo what you do I'm the living proof making it threw the 21st century blues Peace.

I don't want to be a star Just want my chevy and an old guitar I don't want to be a star I don't need the fat cigar My friends wonder what is wrong with me 'Cause I don't get off on my fame I got so much confusion now Sometimes I don't even know my name I don't want to be a star Just want my chevy and an old guitar I don't want to be a star I don't need the fat cigar Too many distractions run through my brain So many girls they start to look the same Too many options no time to choose Too many clothes, too many shoes I've had the world I've done it upside down I played the part and I've been the clown Now it's my time, it's a brand new year To be myslef in a different way I don't want to be a star Just want my chevy and an old guitar I don't want to be a star Just want my chevy and an old guitar I don't want to be a star I don't need the fat cigar I got to meet all the wonderful people I drank with Dylan boy did we act a fool I got to meet all the fabulous people I got high with Jagger, it was realy cool I don't want to be a star Just want my chevy and my old guitar I don't want to be a star I don't need the fat cigar Never...

When visions blur, you nearly see me Cold and tired, you call my name When your body aches, you need my touch I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man When the Lord's been good, you don't remember When he don't make sense, you reel me in If being alone is what's intended I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man So hide me from those eyes so deep Make me deaf to her siren song Take this pain right out of my soul I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man So purge this poison right from my veins Pluck the envy from my heart Put in hand two bitter reigns I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man No, I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man

Losing the fight, closing my eyes I'd run out of luck and I'd run out of time The beat of my heart was fading away The last thing I saw was your beautiful face You and I, we can't deny That we're still holding on To everything we thought was yet to be So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light Everyday I watch as you grieve I know that I must but I don't want to leave I call out your name, you stop and you stare There are only the trees but you know that I'm there In this dream, the in-between I wish that I could hold you But I am just a presence in the wind So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light Through the mist you blow a kiss And then you walk away And finally I know that I am free So I Release You, yes I I've made my peace with you now It is time to say farewell Deep inside you know You've got to let me go Though I love you with all my might I must go towards the light

I can see it in your eyes You're a spirit I recognize Feelings I cannot explain And I don't even know your name Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Have I come to make amends Are old enemies now my friends And are you here to be my guide To heal the wounds that I bear inside? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Been here many times before With a different face from a different shore Both here to discover the other again Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized Going round and round like the seasons Been here many times before With a different face from a different shore We've lived many lives before Fought on different sides of a hundred wars

Time is, time is a fast-flowing river A river that keeps getting deeper Deeper the further you swim You hold on to anything you can hold on to To someone you feel you belong to To stop being swept out to sea Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart Life is, life is perpetual motion The lull of serenity's ocean The shock of the merciless storm But there's no way, no way that you can escape it One of these days you will face it Survive it and you will be strong Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart I'm trying to find you Out in the deep blue But you have got to want to save yourself There is a way out Look for the Lighthouse Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-oh Deep within there shines a beacon Wo-oh Let it guide you like the ancient stars To the Lighthouse of your heart
