We didn't do that much wrong Me old man said 'be careful son' Just kicking down the streets There was me, Steve and our mate Pete Climbing over walls Sarah Jackson used to show it all and we were just thirteen We were mystified, with feasting eyes But we were fucking keen And that's where I learnt the ropes and where Pete learnt all his dirty jokes In Sarah's folk's backyard We drank Cinzano mixed with 7Up Our music was the charts And though it only seems like yesterday It was years ago we grew and moved away And young hearts always say; they'll stay friends We didn't know what time brings We didn't that much right We were guided by the chip shop light We Three Musketeers Through changes upon changes and the pounding of the years We got told 'get employed' A mechanic, a scholar and a solider boy And Pete learnt to drive tanks While Steve fixed cars and motorbikes I studied for exams The second desert war arrived And Pete went off to battle and to try and stay alive Then Pete's mum calls She tells me he's not coming home and she cursed the fucking war And though it only seems like yesterday It was years ago we grew and moved away And young hearts always say; they'll stay friends We didn't know what time brings
