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

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



Yes it's eating, no 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

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



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.
