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 as thick as thieves, you know
(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 dont 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 as thick as thieves, you know
(You know)
If that's important to you
(It's important to me)
I tried to make you see, yeah
But you don't wanna know
(You dont 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
Will 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 as thick as thieves, you know
(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 dont 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 as thick as thieves, you know
(You know)
If that's important to you
(Yes it's important to me)
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
(You dont 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
So, something somebody who doesn't know

See I forgive you in a song
We'll call, 'The likely lads'
