Hero — The Verve

I can't believe that it was good for anyone, to me worth the wait  I doubt that anybody got their money's worth  But the attention sure felt great  With all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, some couldn't see

It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me  Creep from the cradle, but a hero's what I wanna be  Keep it moving people cause there's nothing more for you to see  I'm just a jerk, but a hero's what I wanna be yeah, oh yeah

Love me, love me sweet cowardice  Now that the thrill is mine for the moment  We really didn't need another suicide  Or a song explaining why, but it's not dignified  But I can't seem to kiss it goodbye

It burned like a cancer...  Keep it moving people...  It burned ...  Keep it.....  Erase this disaster even faster than you came to see  A creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be  For your abuse, but not intended for internal use  I'm just a jerk , but a hero's what I wanna be
