Rebels Without Applause Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
The gang's all gone from dark to light
Like lost children go, because we must do
And the bluе flu must come for you
Rebels without applausе
[Chorus]
Bawdy boys of song and girls all gone wrong
I loved them all
Bawdy boys of song and girls who all went wrong
I loved them all
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
The gang's all gone from dark to light
Like lost children go, because we must do
And the bluе flu must come for you
Rebels without applausе
[Chorus]
Bawdy boys of song and girls all gone wrong
I loved them all
Bawdy boys of song and girls who all went wrong
I loved them all
[Outro]
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
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

Genius Annotation
The first single to release off Bonfire of Teenagers.
Rebels Without Applause is a seemingly nostaglic track with a retro sound that loans its melody from The Smiths' 1986 song Cemetry Gates.
The title is a play on that of the 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause which starred James Dean; an actor who Morriessy has obessed over and admired, writting a book about the man in 1983.
