Heroin

Hey poor, hey poor, hey poor
You don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here, Jesus is here

Heroin

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

Not mine - ow!

Heroin

Hey poor, hey poor, hey poor
You don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here

Hey poor, hey poor, hey poor
You don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here

Jesus is here

Hey poor, hey poor, hey poor
You don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here, Jesus is here

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

Jesus died

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
