Y&T – Hercules lyrics

(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

Cause 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!

Just take away my rubbish alright? Thank you.
