D-DU-UDU
 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
She  says it's 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 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
What  can you want now you've  got it all
She  says it's obscene
Time  will strip it away
A  year and a day
 And Bill  Bones
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Bill Bones he knows what I 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
