What became of the likely lads?

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
But 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 said
The 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 want to know
Oh what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
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 it´s important to you
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?
What became of forever?
What became of forever?
We´ll never know
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
But 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 said
The 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 want to know
Oh what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
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 it´s important to you
It´s important to me
I tried to make you see

Oh what became of the likely lads
What became of the dreams we had?
What became of forever?
What became of forever?
We´ll never know
