Please don't get me wrong, see, I forgive you in a song
We'll call The Likely Lads
But if it's left to you, I know exactly what you'd do
With all the dreams we had
Just blood runs thicker, oh, we're thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you, it's important to me
I tried to make you see, you don't want to know
You don't want to know
If you pipe all summer long, then get forgiven in a song
Well, that's a touch, my lad
They sold the rights to all the wrongs and when they knew you'd give me songs
Welcome back, I said
The blood runs thicker, oh, we're thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you, it's important to me
I tried to make you see, you don't want to know
You don't want to know
Oh, what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh, what became of forever?
Oh, what became of forever?
Though, we'll never know
Please don't get me wrong, see, I forgive you in a song
We call The Likely Lads
We all bought the ones, we taught 'em all, we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we have
But blood runs thicker, oh, we're thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you, it's important to me
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know
You don't want to know
Oh, what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh, what became of forever?
Oh, what became of forever?
We'll never know
But blood runs thicker, oh, we're thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you, yes, important to me
I tried to make you see but you don't want to know
You don't want to know
Oh, what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh, what became of forever?
Oh, what became of forever?
Oh, we'll never know
