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
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 the rights to all the wrongs
And when they knew you'd give me songs
Welcome back, I sang

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
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?
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
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 as thick as theives you know
if that's important to you
yes it's important to me
I tried to make you see
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?
Oh what became of forever?
We'll never know!

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were shovelled up like muck
Set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love

But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town
You caught round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know I cherish you my love
Oh how i cherish you my love

Tell me what can you want now you've got it all
The whole scene is obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones knows what I mean
He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls

Well the stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down
It's these ignorant faces that bring this town down
And I sighed and sunken with pride
I passed myself down on my knees
Yes I passed myself down on my knees

Now tell me what can you want now you've got it all
The whole scene is obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones knows what I mean
There are fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap
And we'll die in the class we were born
But that's a class of our own my love
A class of our own my love

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were shovelled up like muck
Then set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love

An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dart
Shattered the lamp into darkness it cast us...

No, you've got it the wrong way round
Just shocked me up and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy kicked out at the world,
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder...

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm just so in love with you (oh oh oh)

Can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
You can't take me anywhere (I can't take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (Oh, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now,
You can't stand me now!

Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending
You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever
And you take all that they're lending
Until you needed mending...

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
there's no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
And all these words they aint true (oh oh)

I can't take me anywhere (I can't take you anywhere)
You can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (Oh, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
No, you can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
No, you can't stand me now!

Saw two shadowed men on the Vallance Road
Said they'd pay me for your address
Oh, I was so bold

I said, "you see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show?"
You a way to mean no

Well, they didn't like that much I can tell you
He said, "sunshine I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes"
Then they chased me up three flights of stairs
Caught me in the lift, how I sighed and said, "hello"
'Cause you're impossible

And it's just like he's in another world
He doesn't see the danger on show
Now he'll wind up like Joseph bloody in the hole

And it's just like she's in another world
And how they suit each other, oh no
But you never get close
(Oh, it's impossible)

Saw the same two men on the Cally road
Said now they double their offer
I was so bold

To say, "you see these two cold fingers I know
These crooked fingers I show?"
Oh, you a way to mean no

But it's just like he's in another world
He doesn't see the danger on show
Now he'll end up like Joseph bloody in the hole

It's just like she's in another world
And how they suit each other, oh no
But you never get close
(It's unstoppable)

(Fuck off)

And it's just like we're all in another world
And how we suit each other, oh no
But you never get close
That's close enough now...
