Time for Heroes

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot? Shoveled up like muck and set the night on fire Wombles bleed, truncheons and shields You know I cherish you, my love But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town You caught round the houses with your trousers down A head rush in the bush You know I cherish you, my love Oh, how I cherish you, my love Tell me what can you want now you've got it all The whole scene is obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood And it's all It's all in my hands And it's all up the walls Well the stale chips are up and the hope stakes are down It's all these ignorant faces that bring this town down And I sighed and sunken with pride Well, I passed myself down on my knees Yes, I passed myself down on my knees Now tell me what can you want now you've got it all The whole scene is obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean He knows there's fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap And we'll die in the class we were born But that's a class of our own, my love A class of our own, my love Did you see the stylish kids in the riot? Shoveled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed, truncheons and shields You know I cherish you, my love Yeah, I cherish you, my love
