Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania"), they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir. more »

When I walk down the street,
See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago

When I walk down the street,
See the stranger who says, "why, hi,"
With a, "how you going, buddy,"
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello

They say:
Haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
Yesterday's hero, that's all I be.

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
And yesterday's hero, is all that I'm gonna be
If I don't get together,
Make a new start and be somebody better,
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.

When you walk down the street, now,
If you know me,t hen pass me by,
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news~

When you walk down the street,
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,
If you followed my story, then just be glad,
You ain't in my shoes

Because,
Haven't you seen my face before,
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
Haven't you seen me round.

Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's hero,
Yesterday's hero
