Lyrics

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot 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 around 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 I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean No, 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 It's all up the walls The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down It's all these ignorant faces that bring this town down And I sighed and sunken with pride You know passed myself down on my knees Yes I passed myself down on my knees Now, tell me what can you want When you've got it all I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones knows what I mean There are fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap And we'll die in the class we were born 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 Shovelled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love And I cherish you my love
