Kirk and The Jerks - To Be A Hero

[@kuririn1975]

Skated all the time listening to this group. Pulled my first Ollie Impossible to this song. I really miss the late 80's and early 90's for skating. H-Street and Blind made it cool to skate street.

[@mikelaughlin270]

This brings back so many good memories of skateboarding with all my friends and living in the moment. A time that I miss so bad but can never go back to because it doesn't exist anymore.

[@dobbz75]

H-STREET all the way dudes,still got Hokus Pokus on VHS,kick ass vid

[@deca-lo2jl]

Hell yes! takes me back to my fav period in skateboarding. Skating all day and all night. Back side tail slides, back smiths, 360 flips, sal flips, blunt slides, 360 oillies. Hocus pocus is thee best skate video ever made. Wish l could go back in time.

[@SKREVR]

Damn right all day and night

[@1garryrippon]

IM LISTENING TO THIS 2022, SEPTEMBER 5! STILL. FUCKING. ROCKS.

[@kobearjr.9382]

Let the midnight stars shine bright on me!!!!!!!

[@FCastroverde]

The guitar riff remains me of The Jam's 'In the City'

[@chrislock6065]

Love this band

[@williamg2826]

Born in 1980, I've been skating since '85. This band still gets me pumped for a skate! 🤟🤟🤟😎

[@taxi2rwy27]

Wow this brings back good memories! I was the one that recorded this. I think I still have the master tapes!!

[@emotionaladolf9969]

Jeff Brubaker I would pay a few hundred for those bad boys man, killer band!

[@ginglyshivets]

Wow really?!? That's awesome

[@michaelhoward9928]

That is so rad!

[@klthackash9435]

[@erikfisher4221]

KLT Hackash , was he Kirk or one of the jerks? This band brings back great memories of my skating days. Tell your dad thanks.

[@emotionaladolf9969]

Your dad is killer dude, this band kicks F-in ass.

[@bjorniggmark1894]

Wow! Tell your dad i really really love their music! I wish there were more to find

[@2dudesonabike]

unreal man, which one is he?

[@ludendi1]

Here in Brazil the skaters listened to three songs by Kirk an the Jerks that were featured on the soundtrack for the film Hokus Pokus by h-street. "To be a hero" in particular brings us back to the past. Your dad's band inspired us !!

[@miked0138]

i was just a punk kid of like 13 when these guys used to let us chill in the garage and listen to them jam, back when they were 'nobodys fools' if i remember correclty circa 1984 still have a few cassettes they gave us back then too.

[@jasondashney]

You should upload those cassettes. People would really appreciate it.

[@5amskateboards291]

I shared the shit out of the H-Street soundtrack in the early 2000's. Recorded it off VHS back in the day. That copy was the best cause you could hear all the skating. Long ass summer vacation road trips with my parents and that cassette.

[@eatcommies1375]

I did the same 👍 T-mag & D-way!!

[@vudusid8717]

Same here as soon as I had the tech to copy the songs from VHS. Rad times.

[@manuelstoll3811]

[@JandroSthen78]

❤❤❤

[@manuelstoll3811]

Favorite song everrrr ❤🤘

[@10zig52]

Verse1 Sunrise falls on the Sunset Strip And I'm tryin to get a grip of the things that got a hold of me Another ache another flash of pain Throw me the bottle that's got no name Cos I need to end this misery Intro Chorus A thousand degrees and I'm still burning my tongue is tied My heart is yearning For something I may never know Chorus To be a Hero is all I need to be Let the midnight star shine bright on me I wish I could make you see That there's a dream inside of me To be a Hero Verse2 Out of step in the naked heat Too many people pushing their own beat And I just can't get my way Another day I'll give it one more shot It's so hard to be something I'm not But I just can't break away Intro Chorus Chorus

[@jmg3344]

10Zig please, could you write that song completely, the one Wich its say "there’s only one way to do it...." of this band?

[@10zig52]

Hey baby i dont wanna waste my time Dont need to tell you that you're out of line Heard everything that going around I don't need a love, that will bring me down yeah Pretty girls walk by without saying a word You know it's alright baby haven't you heard There ain't nothin better than playing rock and roll My ship came in but my pockets are empty My hope can't pay for the bills you send me They say starvation is damn good for the soul There's only one way to do it You better move it or lose it Lookin for an answer but I got no clue Cos livin for the moment is what I do Ain't no fun to wait another day Shooting like a star right out of the sky Faster than a glimpse of the TV eye I better burn out before I'm blown away There's only one way to do it You better move it or lose it There's only one way baby All through the night Do it right

[@jmg3344]

Thanks a lot, my friend. My english is not perfect so i could not understand 100% lyrics Sometimes

[@synlee77]
