No More Heroes
Stranglers · Story So Far [2007]
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn
Whatever happened to dear old Lenin?
The great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more
Whatever happened to all the heroes?
All the Shakespearoes?
They watched their Rome burn
Whatever happened to the heroes?
Whatever happened to the heroes?
No more heroes any more
No more heroes any more

The track exemplifies the band's ability to fuse driving rhythms with soaring vocals, a hallmark of their work throughout the 1970s and beyond.

The recording captures the raw intensity characteristic of the genre, showcasing the band's enduring influence on post-punk and alternative rock. It remains a staple in their discography, often featured alongside essential tracks that defined their catalog during the late seventies and early eighties.
