| Probably incorrect, but I thought it was about football hooligans fighting after a match. Pete's a big QPR fan (he used to write a fanzine about them) and one QPR's biggest rivals are Wimbledon (nicknamed the Wombles). 'Did you see the stylish kids in the riot' Could be a reference the football hooligans who wear Burberry, Stone Island etc. 'It's these ignorant faces that bring this town down' Meaning the football hooligans bring down the name of the football team/town they are 'representing'. 'There are fewer more distressing sights than that of an englishman in a baseball cap' Most football hooligans wear baseball caps. 'Wombles bleed truncheons and shields' Wimbledon fans rioting with the police? That's just how I looked at it the first time I listened to it. Like I say, probably incorrect, but remember Peter is a big QPR supporter. | |

| Bill Bones is Pete's nickname for Carl. The song is about London, and the difference between the positive forces at work on May Day and the negatives of your everyday baseball cap-wearing idiot. The "stylish kids in the riot" are, I think, the upper class young scallywags who joined in the May Day riots a few years back. (I remember one kid from Eton or Harrow who was expelled after he was shown putting in the windows at McDonald's!) Interesting interview with Pete about the May Day riots here: http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/article.php4?article_id=2937 | |

| This song is a ballad about the genreal state of london, the first verse is about the mayday riots (the wombles are the name of a prominant anti globalisation group who participate in the rioting). The second verse is about it's general decline and expressing a love for the city. The baseball cap bit is about the loss of a national identity. | |
