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 my rights to all my wrongs and when they needed the new songs it's "Welcome back", how sad

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
