What Became of the Likely Lads?

[Verse 1 : Carl]
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

[Pre-Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
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
You don't wanna know
But you don't want to know

[Verse 2 : Peter]
If you pipe all summer long
Then get forgiven in a song
Well that's a touch, my lad
They sold my rights to all my wrongs
And when they needed the new songs
It’s ‘welcome back’, how sad

[Pre-Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
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
You don't wanna know
But you don't want to know

[Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
Oh, 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 know

[Verse 3: Carl]
But please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
We call the Likely Lads
We all bought the ones
We told the world, we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we have

[Pre-Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
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
You don't wanna know
But you don't want to know

[Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
Oh, 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 know

[Pre-Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
But blood runs thicker, oh
We're thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
Yes, it's important to me
I tried to make you see
You don't wanna know
But you don't want to know

[Chorus : Carl & Peter, Both]
Oh, 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 know
