One more for the weekend !

You all be aware about one fact of YouTube: What you see today maybe tomorrow has dissapeared already because of some copyrights or any other actions taken by the one placed it into YouTube. That means years from now maybe a lot of the things you can see today will not be visible anymore - what a pity ! Hopefully this one will be visible for a long, long time: DAVID BOWIE - Heroes.
Here is the lyrics for this song - now is weekend & you will hear from me again in the next days.
quote
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day

Just to remind you - this song was written during the Bowie Berlin times - THE WALL still existing. As I remember this is the real video for that song - it is still available on YouTube (it has almost 3 million hits until now.....).

And on top here you have the german version HELDEN (some parts look not like perfect in sync with his lips - actually it looks they just used the original english video and just copied over the german text) - very nice is the beginning with the boys and the football flying over THE WALL - very touching the middle footage of people escaping & sad the end part seeing people waving to their relatives just on the other side of THE WALL:

Do we need a HONG KONG WALL very soon ?
