The Libertines Time for Heroes 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 headrush 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,
The whole scene is obscene, time will strip it away
A year and a day
Oh Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean.

He knows it's eating, 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 it's all up the walls.

So the stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down,
Are 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!

Now tell me 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 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, a class of our own my love!

Aah-ah Aah-ah Aah-ah, Oh Oh
Aah-ah Aah-ah Aah-ah, Oh Oh

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, oh how I cherish you my love!
