Billy Bold Lyrics by Graham Brazier

Inside Out

1981

Born in the sight of the Liverpool dock
If it weren't for the call of the sea
Was the sound of poverty

So they write you down on their social list
Songs of war and girls that don’t exist
And how you can't be free

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 we must unite
Let the chains that bind us be

There's no need to shout everybody knows
It’s wilted now, our English rose
Let's storm the last Bastille

But the baton's hard and the dungeon's cold
You're black or white, you're young or old
Yesterday we did what we were told

But now we are Billy Bold

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 the drums they roll
Street war must take its toll

For now we are Billy Bold
