Lyrics The Libertines

The Libertines

What Became Of The Likely Lads

Please don't get me wrong

See I forgive you with 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

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

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

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, though?

But, 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 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 as thick as theives you know

if that's important to you

yes 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?

Oh what became of forever?

Oh what became of forever?

We'll never know!

The ideal girl in London from France

Came over and left me, she left me entranced

Now I have to get by once again on my own

Nothing but memories

So I remember your eyes their unique shade of brown

while these blue eyes of mine they stay closed

I kissed you goodbye on the end 109

choked as I watched the bus go

Choking in smoke in to your angelic soul

Choking and smoking myself in to a hole

Where the only way out is to sleep and to dream

And to cry out your name
