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 But 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 it's important to you It's important to me I tried to make you see But you don't want to know
Oh what became of the likely lads? What became of the dreams we had?
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 it's important to you It's important to me I tried to make you see But you don't want to know
Oh what became of the likely lads What became of the dreams we had? What became of forever? What became of forever? We'll never know
Scream I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road Said they'd pay me for your address Oh I was so bold I said you see these two cold fingers These crooked fingers I show You a way to mean no Well they didn't like that much I can tell you Said sunshine I would n wanna be in yur shoes And they chased me up three flights of stairs Caught me in the lift (up the bracket) how I sighed and said Help cos you're impossible
But it's just like he's in another world Doesn't see the danger on show He'll wind up like Joseph bloody in a hole And it's just like she's in another world How they suit each other oh But you never get close Its impossible
Saw the same two men on the Cally road Said they'd double their offer I was so bold To say you see these two cold fingers These crooked fingers I show Oh You's a way to mean no
But it's just like he's in another world Doesn't see the danger on show He'll end up like Joseph bloody in a hole It's just like she's in another world How they suit each other oh no Oh you never get close Unstoppable
I said you see these 2 cold fingers These crooked fingers I show You a way to mean no
But it's just like were in another world How they suit each other oh no But you never get close Thats close enough
You walk in like you never seen the light, You walk in like it every night, But I've never seen you dance and I never heard you sing, So how could it mean a single thing?
It's all so rudimentary
You're talking like your handy in a fight, You talk about it every night, But I've never seen those flowers in the barrell of your gun, All I've ever seen you do is run,
It's nice of you to mention
But tell me baby how does it feel? I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel yeah And they all get them out for (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They twist and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
You walk in like you never seen the light You walk in like it every night But then I stopped to think and I asked myself 'why?' It's one of those things that darling you must try
It's all so rudimentary
And now I'm jealous I'm jealous of my own I've no homestead but through these hearts I will roam yeah They all get them out (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They scream and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For they boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
(guitar solo)
But tell me baby how does it feel? I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel yeah And they all get them out for (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They scream and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot Shovelled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love
But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town Caught around the houses with your trousers down A head rush in the bush You know I cherish you my love Oh how i cherish you my love
Tell me what can you want When you've got it all I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean
Yes it's eating, no it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood And it's all It's all in my hands And its all up the walls
The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down Its these ignorant faces that bring this town down Yeah I sighed and sunken with pride You know passed myself down on my knees Yes I passed myself down on my knees
Now tell me what can you want When you've got it all I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean
There are fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap And we'll die in the class we were born That's a class of our own my love A class of our own my love
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot Shovelled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love And I cherish you my love.
