about

A song about hero-worship, and how I probably shouldn't do it so much.

(Weirdly enough, since writing this song I've met both the people I wrote it about. I didn't tell either of them, because that'd be weird and I'd die of shame immediately after.)

lyrics

He was a hero
Now it turns out he's a guy
And he lives under the bridge that I pass every day
And he'll probably never know
Of all the times he made me smile
And I doubt that it would matter to him anyway

He's devoted to Sixties Dust
You'll find it's always on his mind
He's decided to dedicate his life
To searching for a sound he'll never find

She was a goddess
Now it turns out she's a girl
And she works behind a bar somewhere in London Town
Wearing another dress
Not the one she used to wear
Festooned with polka-dots that always caught me looking down

She's lost interest in Sixties Dust
She says she's left all that behind
While being careful to show no disrespect
To others who may be that way inclined

That's the problem with Sixties Dust
You find that it gets everywhere
It takes a moment to sprinkle on your strings
And a lifetime to wash it out your hair.
