No More Heroes is a single by The Stranglers from the eponymous album No More Heroes. It is one of the Stranglers' most successful singles (featuring regularly both in greatest hits style and punk/new wave genre compilation albums), peaking at #8[1][2] in the Official UK Top 40 charts. It featured in the movie Mystery Men, and was also heard in two episodes of the BBC show Ashes to Ashes: Episode 1 of Series 1[3] and Episode 4 of Series 3; it was included in the soundtrack to Series 1.
The lyrics refer to several historical figures, including Leon Trotsky, Lenny Bruce, Sancho Panza and Shakespearos.[4]
At the time of the single's release, the b-side "In the Shadows" was a non-album track, but it appeared on the Stranglers' next studio album, Black and White.
