Ooh I got a busted wing and a hornet sting
Like an out of tune guitar
Ooh she got Hercules on her side
And Diana in her eyes
Some men like the Chinese life
Some men kneel and pray
Ooh well I like women and I like wine
And I've always liked it that way
Always liked it that way
I can't dig it, the way she tease
That old tough man routine up her sleeve
Living and loving, kissing and hugging
Living and loving with a cat named Hercules
A cat named Hercules
Oh and it hurts like hell to see my gal
Messing with a muscle boy
No superman gonna ruin my plans
Playing with my toys
Rich man sweating in a sauna bath
Poor boy scrubbing in a tub
Me, I stay gritty up to my ears
Washing in a bucket of mud
Everybody,
let me tell you 'bout my love
Brought to me,
by an angel from above
Full equipped
with a life time guarantee
Once you try it,

All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighborhood
Ain?t no trains around that part just ain?t no good
Wanna know, what?s going down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can?t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook no time for cool
Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother
I hope you?re clean 'cause the man is mean, don?t come another further
We all know the answer, will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine
Thank you ma?am, mister please
?Cause I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Like a bird, on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you ain?t gonna help, don?t hurt, just pass me by
Hercules
I must be Hercules
Jungle rule, can?t be no fool
Devil is on the loose, no coo
Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats that around and still got the face the man
Talk about me if you please
But I must be Hercules
Hercules
I must be Hercules
Duckin? rocks, catchin? stones
Movin? how can I survive what?s going on
Big steely borrow
Somehow I?ve got to make it to tomorrow
Can?t depend, on no-one else
Comin? up the hard way I?ve got to save myself
Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
My life is valuable thing
I want to keep it that way
I won't cry
My life's such a valuable thing
And some things don't fade away
But I don't mind
We give the best we can give
We won't forget, we can't forgive
Keep us radioactive free
Strike a bell in Hiroshima Park
You know that we can't see in the dark
We try and we try and we try
Who waits for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run
South Pacific carry on
It seems to me that what we're saying
Nobody wants to talk about
This is no time to be wondering why
I do the best I can do
The human jungle and the global zoo
I'll find my way, it's a very special world
Why wait for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run
South Pacific carry on
Here comes the Hercules
Here comes the submarines
Sinking South Pacific dreams
Cause of fear is fear itself
Check out your own back yard
Before you check out someone else
Railroad tracks in my neighborhood
Ain't no trains around, that boy just ain't no good
Wanna know what's going down
And the pimp on the corner
Looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Might get caught by the hook or the crook
Hot time for cool (hot time for cool)
Look out Jake what you say
What you carrying brother
I hope you're clean cause the man is mean
Don't have another brother
We all know the answer will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load along with mine
Thank you ma'am, mister please
But I must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Like a bird on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure on every side
If you not gonna help, don't hurt, just pass me by
Hercules (Hercules)
Must be must be Hercules (must be must be Hercules)
Jungle rules, can't be no fool
The devil is on the loose, no cool
Got your feet in the sand
Got to be down with the cats around
And you still gotta face that man
Talk about me if you please
Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Pitching rocks catching stones
Living, How can I survive, what's going on
Beg, steal, borrow
Somehow I've gotta make it 'til tomorrow
Just like Hercules (just like Hercules)
Thank you ma'am, mister please
Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)
Talk about me
Looks like these afternoons of revery are through
What's left for me to say, what's left for me to do?
Float along and feel the water on my back
Try not to sink down to the bottom
Hollow my head, it echoes like a wooden drum
Peel back my skin and make my ribs a xylophone
Feel the water rise and fall between my bones
And then just sink down to the bottom
It's a simple love affair, dangerous and true
Her arms are all around, reaching out for you
She's a siren in the night, with streaks of red and blue
And though you've disappeared you know, she will get you through
She'll come to the rescue
It's a simple love affair, dangerous and true
Her arms are all around, reaching out for you
She's a siren in the night, with streaks of red and blue
And though you've disappeared you know, she will get you through
I can't stop...it always gets the best of me
I can't stop...been holdin' out so long
I can't stop...whenever you get close to me
I can't stop...I'm really not that strong
I don't wanna grow apart
I don't wanna drift away
I don't wanna come apart
We can surely find a way
Now I don't mind...lookin' at the photographs
I find myself...holdin' back the tears
And I don't mind...when I read the words you wrote to me
'Cause I got time...to silence all my fears
I don't want us torn apart
I don't wanna slip away
I don't want us torn apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my hold
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna lose my...whoa...
I can't stop...I'm holdin' back the memories
But Hercules...is not my middle name
Walls will fall...and you'll be standin' next to me
And Hercules...will never be the same
I don't wanna fall apart
I don't wanna fade away
I don't wanna fall apart
Give me just another day
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
I don't wanna throw it all away
In the morning your face cracks and falls to the sea
The sun follows your step and leads you back to me
You keep telling yourself that you're here but you're not alone
And you get the feeling your mind is not your own
In the evening the sun's red gown turns to brown
The moon follows you to the beach, then it swallows you down
Strange how you can change and end up at her feet
You keep telling yourself but you know that you're not to be believed
You and me and Hercules in between
You and me and Hercules in between
Shadows rise from the plain, fifty men row
In the distance the ships in the waves cash in their load
On the hill stands Colossus and your mind can feel
Clouds from your past now at last open to reveal
You and me and Hercules in between
You and me and Hercules in between
Cross the desert sand, no one knows your name
And you wish you were somewhere else with some kind of fame
What appears as your shadow is formless as a mist
You keep telling your friends you know it exists
One becomes two then before you turns to three
And words climb your tongue like a ladder to speak
Drifting as you go but you row till it seems
All is one, all is mind, all is lost and you find, all is dream
Yeah, you gotta be Hercules
You get up, you get down, you stand up
This whole world keeps spinning around
And I've found that it helps
You gotta be Hercules
You may think it's bringing you down but I know
I know you got it bad babe
There's always someone worse than you
Come on, put your head on my shoulder
You gotta be Hercules
You gotta be Hercules
All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighborhood
Ain’t no trains around that part just ain’t no good
Wanna know, what’s going down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town

Talk about me if you please
Look into these eyes and see.
I'll not be what you want me to be.
Shake my hand and stake your claim.
You'll only fan the flame.
Seeds of love.
Won't leave you cold or flat oh no.
More effective than a baseball bat.
Now what you think of that?
Look into these eyes and know
I'll not go where you want me to go.
You can't move me I'm in too deep.
I am no longer asleep.
You ain't never gonna change my mind.
Too many years since my eyes were blind.
But look into my heart that yearns.
These people whisper behind my back it gets so hard to
see through all of that.
The dust never settles the smoke never clears, a constant
fog surrounding all my fears.
To face my peers and say,
I have not changed.
Blinded by a mask they all set forth to cast.
Searching the days for something more I need to find a
way to fill this void.
Attached to those that could careless my everyday life
seems to revolved around it.
Please Christ lift this weight off my shoulders relieve
the tension that comes from within.
Fighting with these inner conflicts my thoughts seem to
always have the upperhand.
To face my peers and say,
I have not changed.
Blinded by a mask they all set forth to cast.
Who is who I ask cause this is who I am.
I am a man so strong, don't tell me those times are gone.
You're all fading in my past I should have known it would
never last.
Farewell to those I know, I'll be fine just with out you.
[Intro: Ty shouting]
Heyyy, youuu!
[Chorus]
Hercules, remember me fool?
Me and you used to go to the same primary school
And I remember school then. You was the bully
And I was one of the children
You used to treat me like dirt and hurt my inners
I already knew the school paid for my dinners
That's right, flares were worn, shoes were torn
I was the subject of scorn, wondering why I was born
While you - you had it all
You was the rude boy plus the bad boy at football
You couldn't be touched with a barge pole
You was the captain of the ship and we was the cargo
You used to play pat ball, you hated me so much
Much so because I gave you low cuts - the cuts below
'Cos it was my only defence, against
A Hercules figure that was this much bigger
Extra, extra, vexed and sorta very violent
That's why it was best to always keep quiet
A church mouse, verses a powerhouse
You was up North and I was definitely South
A church mouse, verses a powerhouse
You was up North and I was definitely South
[Chorus]
Hercules, remember me fool?
Me and you used to go to the same primary school
Hercules, remember me fool?
Me and you used to go to the same primary school
And I remember school then. You was the bully
And I was one of the children
Now, who's the brother with the brand new kicks?
Kiss chasing all the chicks, pocket full of 'Swizzle Sticks'
'Bazooka Bubblegum', 'Space Dust' and 'Wham!'
Technicolour bed fluff meant I wasn't the man
For kiss chase, now that was real life trauma
Girls would break down and cry if I caught them in the corner
I guess it was my Elvis Presley sheep skin jacket
And my holy toes were peeking outside my socks and outside my shoes
Got a lot of stress from you and you and you
Still, life's a game, and I guess I'm a learner
Used to fantasize about my neighbour's 'Rally Burner'
All I wanted in life was a 'Grifter'
Got fed up, went and stole one with my sister
We rode all day, at the end we put it back
Couldn't have took it home, I would've received slaps
On my D-O-M-E, you see my mummy
She would've slapped me on my B stroke S-I-D-E
For trying to do such conforming to other peoples needs
Now I'm learning the game with speed, Hercules
Trying to do such conforming to other peoples needs
Now I'm learning the game with speed, Hercules
[Chorus]
Hercules, remember me fool?
Me and you used to go to the same primary school
Hercules, remember me fool?
Me and you used to go to the same primary school
And I remember school then. You was the bully
And I was one of the children
[Repeat]
[Outro: Ty talking]
Now, I know, that school was a long time ago and,
you probably feel that y'know,
you don't have to account for your actions, and I don't want you to.
I just want you to know one thing,
y'know maybe one two or three things.
I am now bigger, better, smarter, sexier, I'm the man!
Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in ev'ry Greek opinion poll
What a pro
Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster
And you're talkin' S.R.O.
He was a no one
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
Here was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero--
In no time flat
Zero to hero--
Just like that
When he smiled
The girls went wild
With oohs and aahs
And they slapped his face
On ev'ry vase
(On ev'ry "vahse")
From appearance fees and royalties
Out Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche an' famous
He could tell you
What's a Grecian urn?
Say amen
There he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
And an awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And this perfect package
Packed a pair of pretty pecs
Hercie, he comes, he sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were going bonkers
He showed the moxie brains and spunk
From zero to hero--
A major hunk
Zero to hero--
And who'da thunk?
Who put the glad in gladiator?
Hercules!
Whose daring deeds are great the-a-ter?
Hercules!
Is he bold?
No one braver
Is he sweet?
Our fav'rite flavor
Hercules, Hercules
Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high
And the nicest guy
Not conceited
He was a nothin'
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
He hit the heights at breakneck speed
From zero to hero
Herc is a hero
Now he's a hero
If there's a prize for rotten judgement,
I guess I've already won that.
No man is worth the aggravation,
That's ancient history,
Been there done that.
Who'd ya think you're kiddin'?
He's the Earth and heaven to you.
Try to keep it hidden;
Honey, we can see right through you.
Girl, ya can't conceal it;
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of.
Oh no, no chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no.
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh?
It's too cliché,
I won't say I'm in love.
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming "get a grip, girl"
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got got got it bad
Oh no chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
Give up, give in
Check the grin
You're in love
Your doin' flips, read our lips you're in love!
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it
Girl don't be proud
It's okay you're in love
Oh at least out loud
I have often dreamed,
Of a far off place,
Where a great warm welcome,
Will be waiting for me.
Where the crowds will cheer,
When they see my face,
And a voice keeps saying,
'This is where I'm meant to be'.
I will find my way,
I can go the distance,
I'll be there someday,
If I can be strong,
I know every mile,
Will be worth my while,
I would go most anywhere,
to feel like I belong.
I am on my way,
I can go the distance,
I don't care how far,
Somehow I'll be strong,
I know every mile,
Will be worth my while,
I would go most anywhere,
