Lyrics Billy Boy - Adam Ant

Billy Boy

You know I always felt
That no-one had been hit as hard as me
Come on just like the great pretender
Oh, until I met Billy
Man without love is a wrinkled man
He was a fighter and a brave one
Oh so close to number one
He made a move for Marciano
When he called this man a bum
Man without love is a wrinkled man
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
You know we share a love of London
All its streets, it’s good, it’s fun
Like Peter Finch, the Hellfire Club
And wild man Harris to name just one
Man without love is a wrinkled man
And this here song is for you Billy
For your grace, respect and fire
And if I drank I’d raise a glass real high
Or maybe even higher
Man without love is a wrinkled man
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
And in the back of that new Jag
You slowly smiled as we passed through
It gave us strength through plague and fire
And it gave us men like you
Man without love is a wrinkled man
We really love Peter the painter
Sidney Street he met his end
We really hate that bastard Churchill
And his bully boys he sent
Man without love, yeah, is a wrinkled man
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
I love that motion, emotion, emotion
