"Tell The King"

I've got a little secret for ya

Even now there's something To be proud aboutYou come up the hard wayAnd they'll remind you every dayYou're nothing

Oh my words in your mouth Are mumbled all aboutYou're like a journalist How you can cut and paste and twistYou're awful

Tell it to your kingTell him everything you knowTell him you know how I feelTell him you know how I feel at the palace gatesOh I'm all levered off my faceAnd just to work out what it's on aboutAnd see snakes in eyes And danger signs

If you were late you mustn't dare complainAnd you won't like this at allThere's nothing to break your fall

Oh tell it to your kingTell him everything you knowAnd you know how I feel out of placeUntil I'm levered off my faceAnd I can't work out what your on aboutDidn't they explainYou have to play the game, oh-oh

He drinks and smokes his cares awayHis heart is in the lonely wayLiving in the ruinsOf a castle built on sand

"Time For Heroes"

Did you see the stylish kids in the riotWe were shovelled up like muck

Set the night on fireWombles bleed truncheons and shieldsYou know I cherish you my love

But there's a rumour spread nasty diseases around townCaught round the houses with your trousers downA headrush in the bushYou know I cherish you my loveHow I cherish you my love

What can you want now you've got it allThe whole scene is obsceneTime will strip it awayA year and a dayAnd Bill BonesBill Bones he knows what I mean

Yes it's eating no it's chewing me upIt's not right for young lungs to be coughing up bloodOh it's allIt's all in my handsAnd it's all up the walls

Well the stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are downIt's these ignorant faces that bring this town downYeah I sighed and sunken with prideI passed myself down on my kneesYes I passed myself down on my knees

What can you want now you've got it allThe whole scene is obsceneTime will strip it awayA year and a dayAnd Bill BonesBill Bones knows what I really mean

There are fewer more distressing sights than thatOf an Englishman in a baseball capAnd we'll die in the class we were bornWell that's a class of our own my loveA class of our own my love

Did you see the stylish kids in the riotWe were shovelled up like muckThen set the night on fireWombles bleed truncheons and shields

You know I cherish you my loveOh how I cherish you my love.
