Billy Bold Lyrics

Born in the sight of the Liverpool dock
Within the call of the sea... was the sound
...of poverty
So they write you down on their social lists
Songs of war, and girls that don't exist... and how
...you can't be free.
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
We are Billy Bold
Must we immigrate, or stand and fight?
Troubled times when we must unite... let the chains...
...that bind us free.
There's no need to shout, everybody knows
It's wilted now, our English rose... lets stone...
...the last Bastille
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
We are Billy Bold
For the battern's hard, and the dungeon's cold
You black and white, you young and old
Yesterday, we did what we were told... but now...
...we are Billy Bold
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
We are Billy Bold
And you hear, how the drums they roll
Street war, must take it's toll
For now... We are Billy Bold
