 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

Solo

 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.
