Hand in trousersWe can go wherever we pleaseAnd everything depends uponHow near you stand to me
And if the people stareThen the people stareOh, I really don't know and I really don't care
Kiss My Shades
Hand in trousersThe Good People laughYes, we may be hidden by ragsBut we've something they'll never have
Hand in trousersThe sun shines out of our behindsYes, we may be hidden by ragsBut we've something they'll never have
Kiss My Shades ... oh ...
So, hand in trousers I stake my claimI'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your headI'll fight to the last breath
For the Good Life is out there somewhereSo stay on my arm, you little charmer
But I know my luck too wellYes, I know my luck too wellAnd I'll probably never see you againI'll probably never see you againI'll probably never see you againOh ...

I'm confused Willem.... do you mean "Trousers" as in:
"T-T-T-Trousers(Turn and and face the strain)T-T-TrousersDon't tell them to grow up and out of it"; or
"With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue The only thing I ever got from you was trousers...."; or
"Trousers, makes a man take things over Trousers, lets him loose, hard to swallow Trousers, puts you there where things are hollow...."; or
"I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day We can wear trousers, just for one day...."; or
"There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name That people from bad homes do again and again It's big and it's bland full of tension and fear They do it over there but we don't do it here Trousers! Turn to the left Trousers! Turn to the right Oooh, Trousers!"?

The trousers are then found to have an extraordinary ability to play pool / snooker / billiards [delete according to preference].
Cue song ("cue", get it? get it? Eh? Eh? Oh f'fuck's sake - I give up!):"Those trousers with the broken zipAre surprisingly good at getting balls into pockets...."
The trousers become a worldwide celebrity overnight and make so much money from playing cue / ball related games that they’re able to open a number of holiday camps where everyone is welcome to stay free for as long as they like.
Unfortunately however it then transpires that actually the trousers are secretly brainwashing all the people who come to these "holiday camps" so that they become slaves and work in the mines for their alien masters who tuen out not be anything like as friendly as we had at first thought.
Or something.

Hold up, let me take my trousers off, babyHold up, let you make love to me, babyHold up, let me take my trousers off, babyHold up, let you be real to me, baby
Messing around againActing like way back whenWe were just beside ourselvesWith love, touching your lovely skinRemembering feelings withinTo rush the moment could be so hastyWhen you taste me
[Chorus:]Hold up, let me take my trousers off, babyHold up, let you make love to me, babyHold up, let me take my trousers off, babyHold up, let you be real to me, baby
Exploring the most withinIf we're in love then is it a sinPushing my thoughts into your dreamsYou know what it meansPouring your body meltsAnd in the morning tell me how it feltHope it's just as good for youAs you are to me
[Bridge:]Me wanna love you and know you, babyMe wanna get it up for youMe wanna take my trousers off, babyMe wanna get loose with youMe wanna love and know ya, babyMe wanna take my trousers off, babyMe wanna get real nasty, babyCan I get nasty with you, girl
