When We Were Hooligans chords and lyrics - LOUIS DUNFORD

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Sometimes I sit and reminisce
about the good old days I miss
About [G]the days I spent with all [A]my friends
In fact, I've [D]come to realize those were
the best days of our lives
Oh, what I'd give [G]to be
fourteen once [A]again
But still nostal[D]gia makes me sick,
I feel I've grown up far too quick
But I can't [G]help thinking 'bout
back in the [A]days
When we were [D]the riff, we were the raff,
my pals would wait outside my gaff
The door would [G]open and you'd
hear my old girl [A]say

[Verse 2]
"Oh, no, he can[D]'t come
out to play tonight
He's lucky he ain't dead,
the shite
[G]He's stole another tenner
out of my [A]purse
And so all [D]you boys can piss off home
Don't bell him on his dog and bone
[G]I swear to God you fuckers
make him [A]worse"
But little did she [Bm]know
That when she's [A]tucked up,
oh, so tight
We'd roamed [G]the streets
'til it was light
Run from old [A]bill all through the night
Until [Bm]the day
We were delin[A]quent little shits
We were the hood [G]rats
taking sips out of a bottle
[A]While we sit on you[G]r estate

[Verse 3]
And [Gm]life was so [D]simple [A]then
When we were [G]hooligans
[D]

[Verse 4]
So off we'd roam into the night,
we'd ride our stolen pedal bikes
And who's [G]to say where we
would go or who'd we [A]see
But still [D]a plan that never failed,
gets on the booze and off the rails
We'd buy [G]a twenty bag of
snout with a fake [A]ID
And all our clob[D]ber was on form,
we'd wear the swing made uniform
Grey tracksuit [G]bottoms, Ralph Lauren,
we were looking [A]suave
And all [D]the birds are throwing up cheap
Chardonnay in plastic cups
Dressed like it's [G]prom night
but they're pissing in a [A]park

[Verse 5]
And it's only 8 o'c[Bm]lock
But who's to say [A]romance is dead
She's in [G]the bushes off her head
With an older [A]boy who stole
her ped that she ad[Bm]ores
But old Prince [A]Charming's
just a drip
The smell [G]of Stella on his lips
Her makeup's [A]run, her tights are ripped
Her [Abdim]knees are[G] sore
[Gm]And

[Verse 6]
girls were so [D]foolish [A]then
When we were [G]hooligans
[D]

[Verse 7]
So as the night would carry on,
the joints were rolled and the birds were gone
As all the [G]boys sat on the benches
getting [A]stoned
And as we [D]got high into the night,
you'd hear the sirens, see the lights
So it's [G]the scum,
here they come to take us [A]home
So with [D]a meaty on the way,
we'd throw the booze and the green away
We'd jump [G]the fence,
lodge out the park onto [A]the streets
Oh, hurry up [D]boys, fucking hell, I can't
[A]spend [D]the night locked in cell
'Cause my old [G]man and my
old [A]girl think I'm asleep
But what a way [D]to end the night,
chased through the streets by flashing lights
If you can't [G]have it on your toes,
you're getting [A]torn
And as [D]the night came to an end,
we lodged the old bill once again
Before my [G]mum was up,
I'd slip through the front [A]door
Oh my, how times [Bm]have changed

[Verse 8]
So as [A]I sit and reminisce
About those [G]good old days I miss
So much [A]has changed, sometimes I wish
I'd not grown [Bm]old
They'd call us hood [A]rats, call us scum
I'd call us kid[G]s just having fun
We were delin[A]quents [D]who [A]would call
these [D]street[G]s our home

[Verse 9]
And we be[Gm]lieved things would
be that way [D]forever [A]then
When we were [G]hooligans[Gm]
When we [D]were hooligans
