Intro

 

Verse 1

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shovelled up like muck, and set the night on fire.
Wombles bleed. Truncheons and Shields,
You know I cherish you my love.

Verse 2

But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town,
Caught round 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,    

Chorus 1

Tell me what can you want, now you've got it all.
Ah the scene is obscene, time'll strip it away, a year and a day.
And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean,
He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up,
And it's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood...

Verse 3

It's all, it's all in my hands, and it's all up the walls.
All the stale chips are up, and they hope stakes are down,
It's these ignorant faces, they bring this town down. 
I sighed, and sunken with pride,
I passed myself down on my knees,
Yes I passed myself down on my knees,    

Chorus 2

Now tell me what can you want, see 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.
He knows there's fewer more distressing sights,
Then that of an English man in a baseball cap.
Now we'll die in the class we were born,
And that's a class of our own, my love.
A class of our own, my love.

Bridge

Ahh, ah,
Ahh, ah,
Ahh, ah ahh ahhh.
Ahh, ah,
Ahh, ah,
Ah, ah ahh ahhh.

Verse 4

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shovelled up like muck, and set the night on fire.
Wombles bleed. Truncheons and Shields,
You know I cherish you my love. 
And I cherish you my love.
