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 diseases 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
The whole scene is 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


Well 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
I passed myself down on my knees
Yes I passed myself down on my knees


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 really 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.
