Ian Gillan Band Rockin' to the poor boy he'll be my king Really got to shiver when he sings He is the image of my fantasising Now we got the whole world listening He will be the biggest thing in history Cause he's doing the same thing But so differently Got to hear the poor boy hero sing Now we got a genius the people cried When he move a finger we sighed And then we squeezed him till he broke inside When he went to Vegas the music died He is still the biggest thing in history Now he's doing the same thing so indifferently Got to hear the poor boy hero sing Living in a fantasy Love that poor boy tenderly Now he's gone so tragically Give that poor boy back to me Hero of the century Love that poor boy tenderly Now we take it easy on the soul If it isn't magic it leaves me cold It's only magic if it's fresh and bold It's nothing if it's easy on the soul You can be the biggest thing in history If you're going to do it, do it differently You could be a poor boy hero too
