The Libertines
Time for Heroes (Radio 1 Live Lounge Session)
[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Do you want it down?
Are we going?
[Verse 1]
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shoveled up like muck, set the night on fire
Wombles bleed, truncheons and shields
I cherish you, my love
But there's a rumour spreadin' nasty disease around town
You're caught around the houses with your trousers down
A headrush, Shepherd's bush
Cherish you, my love
And I cherish you, my love
[Chorus]
But what can you want, now you've got it all?
The scene is obscene, time will strip it away
By Christmas Day
And Bill Bones, he knows what I mеan
[Verse 2]
He knows it's eating, it's chewing mе up
And it's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
Ah, it's all, it's all in my hands
And it's all up the walls
And now the stale chips are up and the hope stakes are down
It's these ignorant faces that bring this town down
Oh, I sighed and sunken with pride
I passed myself down on my knees
Yes, I passed myself down on my knees
[Chorus]
Ah, but what could you want if you've got it all?
And she thinks it's obscene, time will strip it away
In a year and a day
And Bill Bones, Bill Bones, he knows what I mean
[Verse 3]
He knows there's few more distressing sights than that of
Colors in a Santa Claus hat
And we'll die in the class we were born
Well, that's a class of our own, my love
Must be a class of our own, my love
[Verse 4]
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shoveled up like muck, set the night on fire
Wombles bleed, truncheons and shields
I cherish you, my love
And I cherish you, my love
