Lyrics Time for Heroes - The Libertines

Time for Heroes

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were 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 round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know I cherish you my love
How i cherish you my love
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 he 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
Oh it’s all
It’s all trouble in my hands
And its all up the walls
Well 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
I passed myself down on my knees
Yes I passed myself down on my knees
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 really 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
Were in a class of our own my love
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were shovelled up like muck
Then set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love
Oh how I cherish you my love.
