The Runaway Brothers

               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
               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 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
