Time for heroes


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
Now 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, 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
It's all up the walls

The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down
It's 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics TIME FOR HEROES of THE LIBERTINES is also present in the album Up the bracket (2003)

Biografia

The Libertines are an English indie rock band formed in London in 1997. The original lineup consisted of Pete Doherty (vocals, guitar), Carl Barat (guitar, vocals), John Hassall (bass) and Gary Powell (drums). The band achieved success with their self-titled debut album in 2002, characterized by an energetic sound that blended garage rock, punk revival and pop melodies. Among their most notable songs are "Time for Heroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun". After a series of internal and personal problems, including those related to Doherty's alcoholism and drug use, The Libertines disbanded in 2005. In 2010, the band announced a reunion with the release of the album "Anthems for Doomed Youth", followed by a world tour. In 2014 they released their third studio album, "The Libertines". The band is considered one of the most influential in the British indie rock movement of the 2000s.
