Song lyrics
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
Just 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!

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 said

The 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 want to know

Oh what became of the likely lads?
What became of the dreams we had?

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 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 it's important to you
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?
What became of forever?
What became of forever?
We'll never know

The coolest song on the coolest album of 2004. Very sad to listen to now pete has left. The band would have been massive if he was still with them. I think that by the time Carl wants him back, he'll have already made a sucess of Babyshambles.

i absolutely love this song...
i think it's carl and pete singing a cute little bittersweet goodbye song

and i do wish pete would lose the drugs. then all would be right with the world. all would be right with my world, at least. of course, if all really was right with my world jim morrison would be alive and twenty-seven forever, so really, don't listen to me.

Pete is clean again. he's got something in his leg that helped him to stop taking heroin, and he stopped taking cocaine himself.

He's not back with the Libs, he's still with Babyshambles. Carlos has got a solo contract.

BUT Pete and Carl are friends again! Somewhere in April they've met again, and they've been hugging and joking and talking and it was very sweet (there are awesome and very cute pictures of them hugging again).

I'm hoping for a reunion, tho I think that's way too early (a lot has happened, you know), but I'm already very glad that Pete and Carlos are buddies again, because they've always been so crazy about eachother.
