they were mates when they were kids
Thick as thieves in the old East End,
Growing up in London in the 1960s
and I bet they've got some secrets
My mum's favourite Beatle, that was Paul
your mum liked John Lennon
And they followed the fab four
right through their teenage years
Searching for that crazy wisdom
Mine did the same and went to Essex
They always stayed in touch
while they raised their families
it don't matter about distance
Friendship only matters about friends
where in the world that you are
As long as you can rely on them
and them holidays in Bridlington
seemed like a long long time ago
and as we grow new branches
we're still as close as ever
friends of the family well
Adventure 2000 and Ninja Scooter
I remember when my brother
recreating American wrestling
and the time we stained the carpet
but we knew that we had been caught
well those drives felt like forever
but the weekends they were fun
we'd sometimes meet halfway
and get a burger and chips at Megatron
it didn't matter how long
since we had been in touch
it don't matter about timing
Friendship only matters about truth
where in the world that you are
As long as they can rely on you
And it's a flying clothesline
buckled by the ultimate warrior.
Joe Bloggs jeans, high -tech shoes
and an Eclipse spliffy t -shirt.
If we were mates as children,
we were buddies in our teens,
Welcoming Kim into your family
As the game of life gets played you
