Libertines The Time For Heroes Lyrics

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 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.
