No More Heroes
The story behind the song
"No More Heroes" confronts the idea of heroism by questioning the fates of various historical and fictional figures. From the revolutionary Leon Trotsky, who met a violent end, to comedian Lenny Bruce, art forger Elmyr de Hory, and even literary character Sancho Panza, the song asks what becomes of those we might once have looked up to. It also name-checks playwright William Shakespeare and Roman emperor Nero, suggesting a broad look at figures across history. Released in September 1977 as part of the album of the same name, this track by The Stranglers feels like a cynical yet compelling reflection on the absence of new idols.
