"Best Of Friends" lyrics

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 soccer beside the juke-box
Kathleen was smiling, you the call
But I shifted Marie at the Colgan hall

We will always be
The best of friends
But I won't see
The likes of you again

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
The best of friends
But I won't see
The likes of you again

We will always be
The best of friends
But I won't see
The likes of you again
