John Entwistle - Too Late the Hero lyrics

Too late the hero

It all comes to zero

And I, I wish I could stop

And start it again.

It's the end of my movie

The bad guys beat me easy

And I, I wish I could stop

And start it again.

It's easy to live in your imagination

If you can't control the situation

You just cut and start it again

It's easy to live in your imagination

You have to make an alteration

You just cut and start it again.

How I wish I could live on the silver screen

Like the stars in the movie magazines

With a happy ending as the final scene.

Too late the hero

It all comes to zero

And I, I wish I could stop

And start it again.

It's the end of my movie

The bad guys beat me easy

And I, I wish I could stop

And start it again.

It's easy, the villains always wear black

They see your guns and turn back

It only happens in the movies

It's easy, the heroes always wear white

The ladies fall off the sight

It only happens in the movies.

As the Viking ship drifts off to the sea

The black sail bursts into fire

I turn to kiss the princess

I have to pacify her

The arrows fall

The sky is red

The music gets higher and higher.

The battle's done

I'm on my way home

A hero's welcome on the shore

Single handed, all by myself

I've just won the war

It was nothing, really.
