lyrics

For My Mates

I went back to a place that had once meant everything to me
The place I grew up, spent my teenage years, became a part of the scene
We were young skinheads running wild, causing trouble, under the wing of the old guard
Got my first tattoos, wore steel-cap boots, I fell in love with a skinhead girl

Chorus:

And I can't help looking back, those days are gone no changing that
But everything that meant so much seems dead and gone, ground to dust
Well, some things are never gonna change,and some things will never be the same - and it's breaking my heart in three

And I'm glad I left cause had I not I woulda truly gonna crazy
But the times we had, me and my mates, are memories that remain
It was fine we were young cause it was new and it was fun but now nothing has changed
It's a time trapped city, stuck in a rut in the ashes of the good old days

Chorus:

And I can't help looking back, those days are gone no changing that
But everything that meant so much seems dead and gone, ground to dust
Well, some things are never gonna change,and some things will never be the same - and it's breaking my heart in three

This is for my mates, the ones I left behind
This is for my mates that are never gonna change
(M-Town Bootboys)
