The Libertines What Became of Likely Lads lyrics

Please don't get me wrong
See, I forgive you in a song
Will 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
It's 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 you're forgiven in a song
Well that's a touch, my lad
They sold the rights to all the wrong's
And when they knew you'd give me song's
"Welcome back", I said

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
Will call the likely lad's
We all bought the one's
We taught 'em all, we wrote the song's
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 thick as thieves you know
And that's important to you, yes, it's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
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
