What Became of the Likely Lads

Please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the likely lads
But, if it's left to you
I know exactly what you'd do
With all the dreams we hadJust blood runs thicker, oh
We're as 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 knowIf 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 saidThe blood runs thicker, oh
We're as 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 knowOh, 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 knowPlease don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the likely lads
We all bought the ones
We taught 'em all we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we haveBut, blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
