Time For Heroes

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot We were shovelled up like muck 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 Caught round the houses with your trousers down A headrush in the bush You know I cherish you my love How i cherish you my love What can you want now you've got it all She says it's obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones he knows what I mean Yes it's eating no it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood Oh it's all It's all in my hands And its all up the walls The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down Its these ignorant faces that bring this town down Yeah I sighed and sunken with pride You know passed myself down on my knees Yes I passed myself down on my knees What can you want now you've got it all She says it's obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones he knows what I mean There are fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap Yeah we'll die in the class we were born That's a class of our own my love Were in a class of our own my love Did you see the stylish kids in the riot We were shovelled up like muck Then set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love Oh how I cherish you my love.
