Time for Heroes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] But there's a rumour spreadin' nasty disease around town You're caught around the houses with your trousers down A headrush hid in the bush You know I cherish you, my love Oh, how I cherish you, my love [Chorus] Tell me, what can you want, now you've got it all? The scene is obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day Oh, Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean [Verse 3] He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood Then it's all It's all in my hands And it's all up the walls [Verse 4] So 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 [Chorus] Now tell me what can you want now you've got it all? The scene is obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean [Verse 5] It was a few or more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap And we'll die in the class we were born Well, that's a class of our own, my love A class of our own, my love [Instrumental Break] [Verse 6] 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
