Lyrics
0:00Aunties And Uncles (Impulsive Youths) - The Jam
0:21Times were so tough
0:22But not as tough as they are now
0:27We were so close
0:28And nothing came between us
0:30And the world no personal situations
0:40Thick as thieves us
0:41We'd stick together for all time
0:46And we meant it but it turns out just for a while
0:49We stole the friendship that bound us together
0:58We stole from the schools and their libraries
1:01We stole from the *** that sent us to sleep
1:04We stole from the drink that made us sick
1:06We stole anything that we couldn't keep
1:10And it was enough
1:11We didn't have to spoil anything
1:14And always be as thick as thieves
1:23Like a perfect stranger
1:26You came into my life
1:29Then like the perfect Lone Ranger
1:32You rode away rode away
1:34Rode away rode away
1:55We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers
1:58We stole autumn leaves and summer showers
2:01We stole the silent wind that says you are free
2:04We stole everything that we could see
2:07But it wasn't enough
2:10And now we've gone and spoiled everything
2:11Now we're no longer as thick as thieves
2:17You came into my life
2:20Then like a perfect stranger
2:23You walked away walked away
2:26Walked away walked away
2:29Thick as thieves us
2:30We'd stick together for all time
2:34And we meant it but it turns out just for awhile
2:38We stole the friendship that bound us together
2:47We stole the burning sun in the open sky
2:49We stole the twinkling stars in the black night
2:52We stole the green belt fields that made us believe
2:55We stole everything that we could see
2:58But something came along that changes our minds
3:01I don't know what and I don't know why
3:04But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time
3:06While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind
3:09No we're no longer as thick as thieves no
3:12We're not as thick as we used to be no
3:15We're no longer as thick as thieves no
3:18We're not as thick as we used to be
3:21No it wasn't enough
3:23And we've gone and spoiled everything
3:25Now we're no longer as thick as thieves
