Time for Heroes - The Libertines

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

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 trouble 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.
