What Became of the Likely Lads

Please don't get me wrong

See I forgive you with 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

'Cause 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 wanna know

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 them rights to all my wrongs

And when they needed the new songs

It's "welcome back", how sad

'Cause 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 wanna 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, though?

Oh, what became of forever, though?

But, 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 wanna know

But 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, though?

Oh, what became of forever, though?

We'll never know

But blood runs thicker, oh

We're thick as thieves, you know

If that's important to you

Yes, it's important to me

I tried to make you see
