We did everything together from an
Early age
Smoked our first fags behind the
School hedge
You captained the minors, I played in goals
You could have played for Ireland
Or so we were told
We will always be
The best of friends
But I won't see
The likes of you again
Drainpipes and combats, sixteen
Hole docs
Played table Âsoccer beside the
Juke-box
Kathleen was smiling, you the
Call
But I shifted marie at the colgan
Hall
We will always be....
Leeds united lost the FA cup final in 1973 and Alan Clarke was pulled down in the box, de deserved a penalty, we hitched to the letterkenny folk festival in the rain , got a lift back home in the link-box of a massey 188
Now I see you at weddings with
Shiny new shoes
Small talk of houses, the d.i.y. blues
Hasn't been mentioned, I'd like to
Say I wish I had seen you on you
Wedding day
We will always be...
