Rebels Without Applause

The gang's all gone
And I smolder on
I, who saw them leave
I cry bereaved
One by one
I saw them stall
Rebels without applause
The gang's all gone
And now I am the only one
No more to give
Too late to live
Last on the bill
I see them still
Rebels without applause

Bawdy boys of song
And girls all gone wrong
I loved them all
Bawdy boys of song
And girls all gone wrong
I loved them all

The gang's all gone
From dark to light
Like lost children go
Because we must do
The blue flu
Must come for you
Rebels without applause

Bawdy boys of song
And girls all gone wrong
I loved them all
Bawdy boys of song
And girls all gone wrong
I loved them all

Generation X
And X-Ray Spex
We loved them all
I see them still
I see them still
I see them still
I loved them all
I loved them all
I loved them all
