Verse 1
Please don't get me wrong see
I forgive you in a song well call the likely lads,
But if its left to you I know exactly what you'd
do with all the dreams we had,
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves ,
If that's important to you,
Its important to me
I tried to make you see,
But you don't wanna know!
Verse 2
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
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves ,
you know if that's important to you,
Its important to me
I tried to make you see, but you don't wanna know!
Chorus
Oh what became of the likely lads?
Oh what became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became forever?
Though we'll never know
Verse 3 (Same as verse 2)
Please don't get me wrong see I forgive
you in a song well call the likely lads,
We all bought the ones, we taught em all
we wrote the songs that's filled with dreams we have
Just blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves ,
you know if that's important to you,
Its important to me
I tried to make you see,
But you don't wanna know!
Chorus
Oh what became of the likely lads?
Oh what became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became forever?
Though we'll never know
