In tribute to the recently departed Steve Harley just one of mine and Ed's musical heroes that are no longer with us.
Now when Sebastian wept and little Judy cried
Upon the news that the rebel had died
The bed in the corner is so empty now
What Ruthy said back then, but why and how?
It’s like Loretta's tale, but for another day
And now’s the time we have to Hideaway
All the heroes I once had, they’ve all gone to ground
They’ve gone to play a gig in an otherworldly town
The fallen idol, always sang the best song
The fallen idol, always made things right when they were wrong
The forgotten hero, not playing in a town near you
You’ll only see him, when you're dead too
And now your new entrance fee is just being dead
You’ll just have to bite the bullet, go watch someone else instead
They won't be playing the classic songs you came to hear
They just ain’t the legends you want to clap and cheer
The fallen idol, always sang the best song
The fallen idol, always made things right when they were wrong
The forgotten hero, not playing in a town near you
You’ll only see him, when you're dead too
Now when Sebastian wept and little Judy cried
Upon the news that the rebel had died
All the heroes I once had, they’ve all gone to ground
They’ve gone to play a gig in an otherworldly town
Fallen idols, forgotten heroes
They've all gone, they've all gone
