The Libertines - What Became Of The Likely Lads lyrics

rate me

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

'Coz 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!

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

The 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, we'll never know

Please don't get me wrong

See I forgive you in a song

We'll 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 run thicker oh

we're as thick as theives you know

and that important to you

yes it important to me

I tried to make you see

but 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!
