Lyrics

[00:07.72] Please don't get me wrong
[00:08.34] See I forgive you in a song
[00:10.21] Will call the Likely Lads
[00:13.95] But if it's left to you
[00:15.06] I know exactly what you'd do
[00:16.58] With all the dreams we had
[00:20.01] Just blood runs thicker, oh
[00:21.73] We're as thick as thieves, you know
[00:23.72] If that's important to you
[00:25.33] It's important to me
[00:26.84] I tried to make you see
[00:29.06] But you don't want to know
[00:30.42] You don't want to know!
[00:32.14] If you pipe all summer long
[00:33.19] Then get forgiven in a song
[00:34.81] Well that's a touch, my lad
[00:37.85] They sold the rights to all the wrongs
[00:39.36] And when they knew you'd give me songs
[00:40.68] Welcome back, I said
[00:43.97] The blood runs thicker, oh
[00:45.69] We're as thick as thieves, you know
[00:47.25] If that's important to you
[00:48.68] It's important to me
[00:50.30] I tried to make you see
[00:52.26] But you don't want to know
[00:53.43] You don't want to know!
[00:55.66] Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
[01:01.83] What became of the dreams we had?
[01:07.20] Oh what became of forever?
[01:12.97] Oh what became of forever?
[01:17.82] Though, we'll never know
[01:24.31] Please don't get me wrong
[01:25.47] See I forgive you in a song
[01:26.82] Will call the Likely Lads
[01:30.33] We all bought the ones
[01:31.44] We taught 'em all we wrote the songs
[01:32.76] That's filled with dreams we have
[01:35.89] But blood runs thicker, oh
[01:37.56] We're as thick as thieves, you know
[01:38.97] If that's important to you
[01:40.85] It's important to me
[01:42.22] I tried to make you see
[01:44.50] But you don't want to know
[01:47.38] You don't want to know!
[01:47.61] Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
[01:53.73] What became of the dreams we had?
[01:58.87] Oh what became of forever?
[02:04.53] Oh what became of forever?
[02:09.44] We'll never know!
[02:21.57] The blood runs thicker, oh
[02:23.43] We're as thick as thieves, you know
[02:24.74] If that's important to you
[02:26.07] It's important to me
[02:27.77] I tried to make you see
[02:29.79] But you don't want to know
[02:30.65] You don't want to know!
[02:32.92] Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
[02:39.22] What became of the dreams we had?
[02:44.33] Oh what became of forever?
[02:49.88] Oh what became of forever?
[02:54.73] Though, we'll never know
[03:29.80] France
[03:47.20] The ideal girl,
[03:48.99] In London from France,
[03:51.10] Came over then left me,
[03:53.02] she left me in trance,
[03:54.48] Now I have to get by once again on my own,
[03:58.38] Nothing but Memories.
[04:02.82] So I remember your eyes
[04:04.79] that unique shade of brown,
[04:06.96] While these blue eyes of mine
[04:08.62] they stay closed
[04:11.29] I kissed you goodbye on the M109,
[04:15.13] I choked as I watched the bus go-o-o.
[04:38.90] Choking and smoking to your angelic soul,
[04:42.59] I'm Choking and smoking myself into a hole,
[04:45.73] Where the only way out is to sleep and to dream,
[04:50.02] and to cry out your na-a-ame,
