THE LIBERTINES LYRICS - What Became Of The Likely Lads

"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 its left to you,

I know exactly what you'd do

With all the dreams we had

Just blood run's thicker, oh

We're thick as thieves, you know

If that's important to you

Its important to me

I tried to make you see

But you don't wanna know

You dont wanna know!



If you pipe all summer long

Then get forgiven in a song

Well that's the 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 thats important to you

It's important to me

I tried to make you see

But you don't want to 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 wrng

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 want to 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
