| I didn’t want to write this song
|
| Because I love you and you’ve been my friend so long
|
| We were the same when we were young
|
| Living it two as one
|
| All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes
|
| You pulled me through you made me feel like I was not insane
|
| We promised that we’d never change
|
| Holding out on the edge
|
| Today — life’s a different story today
|
| Sad and yet not sad in a way
|
| People never do stay the same
|
| And the runaway brothers have had their day
|
| Remember on your wedding day
|
| I must admit I had the strangest feeling then
|
| Outside the Church — we took some flak
|
| Both throwing up round the back
|
| But now when we meet up today
|
| It don’t seem right that we just don’t know what to say
|
| they stood staring at our shoes
|
| Not knowing what to do
|
| Today — life’s a different story today
|
| Sad and yet not sad in a way
|
| People never do stay the same
|
| And the runaway brothers have had their day
|
| You’ve got a job, I understand
|
| You’ve got a wife, I’ve got the band
|
| I never thought I’d write this song
|
| I never thought that we could change so much — so long
|
| I won’t forget you — oh my friend
|
| Here’s holding out 'til the end
|
| Today — life’s a different story today
|
| Sad and yet not sad in a way
|
| People never do stay the same
|
| And the runaway brothers have had their day
|
| Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
|
| Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
|
| La la la la la la la la… |
